One of smallest butterflies could disappear
One of the worlds smallest butterflies, the Sinai Baton Blue, is threatened with extinction according to scientists.
It feeds on a specific kind of wild thyme that can only be found in a small corner of the Sinai Desert.
But overgrazing by Bedouin herds, over-collection of the plant for medicinal purposes and global warming could spell the end of this unique species.
