Camagüey, July 19 (RHC)-- The Small Grants Program (SGP) of the Global Environment Facility will fund the opening of a butterfly park, located in the Botanical Park in Camagüey.

Experts from the CITMA Delegation stressed the importance of butterflies for the diversity of the ecosystems in which they live.
The facility, located 5 km from the city, declared a Cultural Heritage of Humanity, will also promote the public's introduction to the life cycle of a butterfly, and will offer information about the benefit of these lepidoptera for traditional gardening that allows their reproduction.
