Did you miss the news? Eastern migratory monarch butterfly populations decreased by 59% compared to last year’s report. Scientists believe some of the decline is due to high temperatures and drought in Canada and the US, which reduced the abundance of milkweed, the only plant in which the butterflies lay their eggs. WWF and its partners undertake the annual survey. Experts measure the area of forest in which monarch butterflies hibernate each winter, providing a scientific indicator of their pop

PLANT MILKWEED 🌱 SAVE THE THREATENED MONARCH BUTTERFLIES. 🦋 The iconic Monarch butterfly is now officially an endangered species in North America. The main cause of their steep decline is the lack of milkweed, their caterpillar's host plant and exclusive food source. To restore monarch butterfly populations to their former levels, 1.8 billion milkweed plants would be needed—the equivalent of 12,000 to 20,000 football fields. A colossal challenge. 🤯 But it can be achieved if we work together,

The multigenerational migration of the monarch butterfly is legendary — a journey of more than 2,000 miles from Mexico to Canada, undertaken by animals weighing less than a single gram. In monarchs' overwintering groves, there were once so many butterflies that the sound of their wings was described as a rippling stream or a summer rain. Yet these butterflies, once a familiar sight, are plummeting toward extinction due to threats from pesticides, development and climate change. The western popul
