There has long been a vast divide between the worlds of business margins and those environmentalists in the conservation side. While both sides want to ‘save’, they address totally different topics between saving the world and species and saving money.

The United Kingdom may be setting precedence in bringing these two powerful opponents into a mutual playing field. In an attempt to save a rare species of butterfly only found in southern England, there has been a partnership between land owners and conservationists. It seems that the land owners are being an incentive to set up butterfly habitats and in turn receive income from the areas of science, environmental organizations and study organizations. Ultimately, all involved receive the achievement of their goals, but it’s the endangered species that completely wins.
