Endangered butterfly species' numbers revived by conservation breeding in east China's Fujian

A rare golden Kaiser-i-Hind butterfly has been seen flying through a forest reserve in east China's Fujian Province.

With wild females extremely rare, conservation breeding has become an important way to help the species rebuild its population.
