A farming family in Wiltshire is transforming its land to protect a rare butterfly.
Sonja and Perin Dineley are leading a large habitat project at Red House Farm.
The Duke of Burgundy has declined sharply across the UK.
It now survives only in a few parts of England.
Conservationists say urgent action is needed to prevent extinction.
The Dineleys will convert 56 hectares into butterfly-friendly habitat.
They are working with environmental partners to complete the scheme.
More than 2,600 native trees will be planted.
The project will create a mix of grasslands, scrub, and woodland.
These habitats will support the butterfly and other wildlife.
The farmers also want to keep the land productive for future generations.
They describe the area as once exhausted and low in biodiversity.
Restoration will run under a legally binding 30-year management plan.
Wiltshire Council secured the agreement through a Section 106 deal.
The initiative aims to rebuild local butterfly colonies.
It also shows how farming and conservation can work together.
