How the Butterfly Pavilion Accomplishes its Mission

At the Butterfly Pavilion, we believe in the concept of conscious capitalism and measure our success by the positive impact that we make socially, ecologically and economically both locally and globally. We accomplish this task through education, research, conservation and by providing the public with an interactive opportunity to learn about their world and the important role that invertebrates play within it. We integrate the triple bottom line philosophy and approach that considers people, profit and the planet equally so that human systems are in balance with natural systems, while teaching visitors about sustainability through the following efforts.
