Michiel Wallis de Vries has said
during his inaugural lecture as Professor of Ecology at Wageningen University
that butterflies in the Netherlands are in decline. He said that 17 types of
butterflies no longer exist in the Netherlands, and also that the numbers of
the surviving types are declining. He explained that this is caused by the rise
of intensive agriculture, fertilization with nitrogen derivatives and the
changes in climate.
