The Xerces Society, Albuquerque BioPark, members of the IUCN SSC Firefly Specialist Group, and other partners have compiled a series of publications focused on the conservation status of fireflies, their life history needs, threats to their persistence, and recommendations on how to protect them and their habitats.
- State of the Fireflies of the United States and Canada: Distributions, Threats, and Conservation Recommendations
- Conserving the Jewels of the Night Guidelines for Protecting Fireflies in the United States and Canada
- Conserving the Jewels of the Night: Firefly-Friendly Lighting Practices
- Sustainable US Firefly Tourism: A Guide for Site Managers
- Lighting the Way: A Guide to Establishing Firefly Sanctuaries in the United States
In 2024, members of the Firefly Specialist Group compiled a document of protocols and guidelines for measuring the index of abundance in firefly populations. This is a living document that is expected to be revised and built upon in the coming years.
