Western Monarch population is nearly gone

[Catherine]

The winter Monarch count in California was heartbreaking. In some places there were no Monarchs. In  the places that did have monarchs, there were hundreds, not the usual thousands. The numbers are so low that if drastic action is not taken the western population of Monarchs will cease to exist.

Why are the numbers so low?
It is the usual causes, habitat loss and use of pesticides. The Monarchs are not the only ones effected, but they are the most noticeable.
Acting to save the Monarchs is acting to save whole environments. Life is interconnected and the loss of the Monarchs is more than the loss of one species.
Action must be taken now to save these beautiful creatures from extinction. Once they are gone, it is too late. We must stop the use of pesticides. They do so much harm to the environment. We need to plant milkweed and anything else that will help save the butterflies. Without deliberate effort on our part the Monarchs will be gone soon. I hope there are enough people in the area willing and able to help.
