Monarch butterflies are headed toward extinction.
The western population has plummeted by more than 99 percent but still has no endangered species protections at the state or federal level.
Bills have been reintroduced in Congress to protect monarchs. Rep. Panetta (D-CA) and Sen. Merkley (D-OR) have reintroduced the Monarch Action, Recovery, and Conservation of Habitat Act (MONARCH Act) and the Monarch and Pollinator Highway Act.
The MONARCH Act would create a rescue fund of $12.5 million per year for five years to support conservation projects for the monarch butterfly. And the Monarch and Pollinator Highway Act would develop roadside habitat through planting and seeding of pollinator-friendly plants and vegetation.
Pollinators are vital to our planet — not just for our gardens, but for our food supply. A world without them would be unthinkable.
Help save these vital pollinators: Tell your members of Congress to support the MONARCH Act and the Monarch and Pollinator Highway Act.
