The Monarch Needs You
The Western monarch butterfly has declined by over 95% since the 1980’s.
Those are stark numbers. But there is hope! Transition Habitat Conservancy has been working over the years to bring monarch butterfly education to our communities, increasing awareness of planting milkweed and creating habitat in our neighborhoods for this iconic butterfly.
We have the opportunity now to get this species listed by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service. They have just proposed listing the species under the federal Endangered Species Act, and have opened this proposal up for public comment.
It is more important now, than ever, to act on this comment period. All of us. Together. We must speak for the monarch. We must let the Service know that we want these species protected now, and for our future generations to behold this very special butterfly.
The comment period is open NOW and closes on March 12th, 2025. Don’t let this opportunity to make a vital impact pass you by. Join us, as we rally to protect our Western monarch butterfly!
