The Albuquerque Biological Park is a founding member of the BFCI, and supports its commitment to participation with a staff member serving on the interim steering committee. The BioPark maintains a seasonal exhibit of Southwestern U.S. butterflies, along with associated butterfly gardens, and targets butterfly conservation in its educational outreach.

While there are no New Mexican butterflies listed as threatened or endangered, the BioPark has embarked on a project in conjunction with the United States Fish and Wildlife Service office to aid in the recovery of the Sacramento Mountains Checkerspot Butterfly, Euphydryas anicia cloudcrofti, which has been proposed for listing as endangered.
