One Man Singlehandedly Repopulated a Rare Butterfly

Tim Wong is a biologist, social butterfly, and naturalist in San Francisco. He’s the man responsible for singlehandedly repopulating the area with the California Pipevine Swallowtail (Battus philenor hirsuta), a locally rare butterfly in San Francisco. After his efforts, the butterfly species is gradually repopulating in the area again. This post about him makes a wonderful point about doing the one thing you love:
