Saving the Monarchs
Jaime Rojo
Few insects have captured our imagination like the Monarch Butterflies. Their migration is one of the most iconic wildlife spectacles in North America. However, their population has declined by 90% in the last four decades due to the loss of breeding habitat caused by industrial agriculture, deforestation in the wintering grounds, and, recently, extreme weather events fueled by climate change. From farmers to indigenous communities, from scientists to volunteer citizens, hundreds of people across North America are working to reverse this alarming trend and create a new future for Monarchs. In these polarizing times, the struggle of these beloved butterflies can be used to revisit our relationship with the natural world, provide hope, and unite three countries under the same goal: to save the Monarchs.
