Gir forest of Gujarat is widely known as the last home of Asiatic Lion. It also hosts a range of other mammalian, avian, reptiles and insect species biodiversity. The sanctuary area has been explored in the present study for diversity and species richness of small but important creatures called butterflies. Butterflies have been depicted as significant indicator species owing to their sensitivity to slightest change in environmental factors. Their habitat signals a healthy ecosystem. Danaidae and Nymphalidae butterflies were observed the most abundant while Hesperiidae butterflies were recorded the least dominant. Butterfly diversity has been observed higher in thinned, thinned and burnt and in wildfire (disturbed forests) in comparison to the natural dense forests. It was observed that the population of butterflies were found more in the disturbed forests as they interact the most in disturbances; hence they are the ecological indicators of climate change.
