For decades, monarchs in the West have been in decline because of loss of habitat.
The monarch is now under government consideration for listing under the U.S. Endangered Species Act.The population of monarch butterflies overwintering in California remains at critically low levels for a second straight year, an environmental group announced Thursday.
“We had hoped that the western monarch population would have rebounded at least modestly, but unfortunately it has not,” said Emma Pelton, the Xerces Society’s western monarch lead. Pelton said people can help by planting early-blooming flowers and milkweed to fuel migrating monarchs on their paths to other states.
