The Centre focuses on three areas: educational visits, conservation and butterfly farming. The butterfly farming is done in cooperation with around 40 farmers from the nearby village. The farming allows the farmers to diversify their income and is especially suitable for women as they can easily integrate the activities around household and childcare duties. Before, many of them have been clearing the forest for charcoal and agriculture causing habitat destruction and species extinction. Nowadays, they see the importance and incentive of conserving such habitats as the butterflies bred and rear only in intact forests.
