Josephine Romeo is an educator and conservationist specialising in Butterflies and their habitats.
Josephine founded a social enterprise known as Gold Coast Butterflies in 2012 to help with creating awareness for the need to preserve and create more butterfly habitats, visiting many schools and attending community events.
Gold Coast Butterflies established a Butterfly House at Carrara Markets in 2018 which is a sustainable habitat for many Australia native butterfly species. This is open to the public and schools to visit and learn about the butterfly lifecycle and their conservation. Butterfly attracting plants and seeds are available there so you can create a butterfly habitat in your own backyard.
Josephine also volunteers with the Friends group at the Gold Coast Regional Botanic Gardens to provide informative butterfly guided walks and conduct regular butterfly research.
