Gita Persada Butterfly Park

Gita Persada Butterfly Park was founded in 1997 to counter the extinction of Sumatran butterflies due to deforestation and damage to their natural habitat. The founders of the park, Anshori Djausal and Herawati Soekardi, hope that this park can be a model for butterflies conservation. The park located at the southern tip of Sumatra at the foot of Mount Betung about fifteen minutes from Bandar Lampung. The park currently contains over 100 species of Sumatran butterflies.
