| The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service has proposed to list the iconic monarch butterfly as a threatened species under the Endangered Species Act. The Xerces Society invites you to join our public letter advocating for strong federal protections for the monarch butterfly.
This proposal comes at a crucial time. Following efforts by hundreds of volunteers and partners to count overwintering monarch butterflies in California, the 28th annual Western Monarch Count has reported a peak population of just 9,119 butterflies this winter. This is the second lowest overwintering population recorded since tracking began in 1997.
Please take a moment to add your name to our letter which we will submit with the names of all co-signers to the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service. |
