MONARCH BUTTERFLY HAPPENINGS!


Monarch Butterfly numbers used to be in the billions

     he MoTnarch Butterfly faces four hazards to their survival. The Monarch is headed for extinction and should be included on the Endangered Species List. 
     Two short decades ago, over a billion monarchs flew up into the U.S. from Mexico seeking milkweed plants to lay their eggs on. Maybe, those numbers will come back...someday. I remember when they faced a great snowstorm in Mexico that killed many of them. Kudos to David Suzuki's foundation which hosts #gotmilkweed and Monarch Manifesto campaigns to help bring back the monarch.
