The Ministry of Defence (MoD) is trying to save a rare British moth from extinction while also using its site for military training.

The rare dark-bordered beauty moth exists at one last known site in England, the military training area at Strensall Common near York.

The MoD, which owns the Site of Special Scientific Interest (SSSI) said it would be working with the Defence Infrastructure Organisation (DIO) and biologists from the University of York to try to protect the moth.
