Into its 27th year, the Butterfly Pavilion in Westminster, Colo. is proud to call itself the only invertebrate-focused zoo of its kind accredited by the Association of Zoos and Aquariums. Invertebrates are said to account for 94% of the world’s entire animal kingdom. That, along with their documented demise, underscores the importance of Butterfly Pavilion’s stated mission: to inspire the next generation of conservationists while researching ways to protect habitat globally.
