Wild Animal Park curator of birds Bill Toone, who was also the curator in charge of obtaining butterflies for the Park's annual spring butterfly event, talks with a staff member at one of the butterfly farms the Park worked with in Costa Rica. When the Park supports these local butterfly farms, the farmers are able to make a living to support their families and communities, yet protect the forests and native habitat where they live—the butterflies need the unspoiled habitat in order to reproduce.
