Last week the International Union for the Conservation of Nature categorized the migrating monarch butterfly as “endangered.” The United States has not listed monarch butterflies under the Endangered Species Act, but the ICUN is considered a comprehensive authority on the status of species. Scientists say climate change and habitat loss have contributed to the species’ decline. Emma Pelton is the Western Monarch lead at Oregon’s Xerces Society for Invertebrate Conservation. She tells us what is being done in the Pacific Northwest to attempt to save the monarch.
