NEW WEBSITE LAUNCH
The Xerces Society is pleased to announce the launch of its newly redesigned
website <http://www.xerces.org/>. The new website has greatly improved
design, accessibility and additional resources. With hundreds of pages of
information, the website is a vital resource for those interested in
invertebrate conservation. In addition to summaries of the Society's
conservation programs, the site offers access to dozens of freely
downloadable factsheets and conservation guidelines.

Some highlights of the new site include:

   - The pollinator conservation resource
center<http://www.xerces.org/pollinator-conservation/>offers
information for farmers, landowners, gardeners, wildland and park
   managers, and golf course superintendents on how to provide habitat for
   pollinator insects.


   - Xerces Society publications <http://www.xerces.org/publications/> and
   memberships <http://www.xerces.org/join/> can now be purchased online via
   PayPal.


   - Robert Michael Pyle's Butterfly Big Year
blog<http://www.xerces.org/butterflyathon/>,
   which details his year-long odyssey crisscrossing the United States in
   pursuit of as many different species of butterflies as possible, plus
   information on the Xerces Society's Butterfly-a-thon.


   - The opportunity to sign up for the Xerces Society
enewsletter<http://www.xerces.org/newsletter-signup/>to receive
periodic email updates on invertebrate conservation issues.


   - Profiles of over one hundred rare and at-risk invertebrate
species<http://www.xerces.org/at-risk-invertebrates/>,
   each with information on life history, status, and conservation needs. The
   profiled species include a broad array of invertebrates from Susan's
   purse-making caddisfly <http://www.xerces.org/ochrotrichia-susanae/>—a
   critically imperiled species found in only one creek in Colorado—to
the rusty-patched
   bumble bee <http://www.xerces.org/rusty-patched-bumble-bee/>, which was
   once very common throughout the east and upper Midwest of the United States,
   but has steeply declined in recent years.

With contributions from many renowned invertebrate photographers, the Xerces
Society worked with Green Tangerine
Media<http://www.greentangerinemedia.com/>to develop this site.
