ECUADOR-CLIMATE CHANGE-SCIENCE-BUTTERFLY

Biologist Maria Fernanda Checa carries a box with embalmed butterflies at the Chatolic University in Quito, Ecuador, on March 6, 2024. The smell of rotting fish fills part of the trail where a team of biologists and park rangers has hung 32 green traps that blend into the thick of the forest in the Cuyabeno Wildlife Production Reserve. Since August, they have been developing a butterfly monitoring project to measure the effects of climate change with the support of the American NGO Rainforest Partnership.
