Tell Local Leaders to Take the Pledge for Monarchs

The urgency to act is clear: the future of the #MonarchButterfly depends on local efforts to plant & restore native milkweed & nectar plants. Join me in encouraging local leaders to sign the #MayorsMonarchPledge! Via @wildlifeaction.bsky.social app.sosha.ai/s/Hgb3hW1v

Beautiful

The facts: Federal protection for the Monarch has been pushed to late 2026
The feelings: Outrage🦋🏛️ While agencies stall, the community is holding the line with native milkweed and pesticide-free gardens
We are the architects of their survival🥂⚖️

The #MonarchButterfly is a #pollinator, the adults feed on flower nectar, they transfer pollen from one flowering plant to another. This #fertilizes the plants so they can produce seeds and fruit. Without pollinators, many crops and wildflowers would not exist. Protect Monarch & their #habitat Plz

As monarch butterflies repopulate, expert calls for more habitat in MD Monarch butterfly populations saw a large uptick in population in 2025, a second year of growth since a near-record low and experts are calling on people to support the species

After years of steep decline, monarch butterfly populations grew again in 2025, but experts say the rebound is fragile. Scientists measured monarchs overwintering on more than 7 acres in Mexico, up from 4.4 acres the year before. Habitat still plays a key role.

Hello Spring! Yup, we get Monarch Butterflies usually visiting the Mexican Butterfly Weed. Then, come the Caterpillars munching them to the nubs. Totally worth it. thetropicalgrower.com/gardening-ph... #butterfly #monarchbutterfly #flowers #photography #nature #spring #happy #gardening #monarch

The image shows a large orange and black butterfly nectaring on a white and yellow flower. This is a Monarch. It is probably the best known of all migratory butterflies, migrating from overwintering sites in the south to its northern home in the spring and back again in the fall. Most Monarchs seen during the summer in the Adirondack Mountains and in the rest of eastern and central North America are part of a migratory process that ends in Mexico. However, no single individual makes the round-trip journey. The migration process involves several Monarch generations.

For the #coloraday theme #orangesun, I offer this gorgeous Monarch. wildadirondacks.org/adirondack-b...

Monarch Butterflies Are Getting Royally Screwed, Conservationists Contend The Center for Biological Diversity and Center for Food Safety are suing U.S. Fish and Wildlife to fast-track protections for the dwindling butterflies.

The title really says it all.

We're suing Fish and Wildlife to force them to set a date for listing the #MonarchButterfly on the #EndangeredSpecies List 🦋🦋

These iconic insects were proposed in 2024, and a final decision was due in December, 2025.

But that decision never came.

Recent headlines celebrate a 64% increase in #MonarchButterfly populations. But is this the turning point for these pollinators? In this episode of Animal, Nature, and You, I explore what this increase means and the ongoing challenges monarchs face.

Monarch butterfly population increases 64% Two new reports estimate a 64% increase in species population and a significant decrease in forest degradation in the butterfly's winter home

This year, the butterflies occupied 7.24 acres of forest, up from 4.42 acres last winter — thanks to #conservation efforts across the Americas to restore habitats and combat pesticides to ensure safe migrations, the reports offer hope for #monarchbutterfly recovery! 🦋
