Monarchs need our help on so many fronts.
One such front is freeways and roadways in Monarch migration paths.
I propose closure of these roads until migration South is complete. Who's with me on signing a petition?
Worse is the deforestation in Mexico of their wintering location. Currently the new generation of Mexican environmentalists are reforesting what was poached of the forest. As it was thinned out it permitted colder air & high winds to challenge the survival of these remarkable creatures. So potted plants were brought in to shield them. As a member of the Nature Conservancy I purchased acreage with the organization to preserve their habitat. We are making progress as their numbers are increasing in their winter home. Join an organization to use the power of our numbers to pressure governments in this endeavor.
