Save Monarch Butterflies: Tell the FWS to list monarchs as threatened under the ESA!

Monarch butterflies are icons for their beautifully patterned wings and migrations of thousands of miles. But in recent decades, their numbers have dwindled to dangerous lows. Without immediate action, they are on a flight path to extinction.

Help is coming: The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service has recognized this crisis and is proposing to list monarchs as threatened under the Endangered Species Act!

The comment period is open: Sign a message telling FWS to protect monarch butterflies from extinction by listing them under the ESA!

Endangered and Threate...

Greetings,

I’m writing in support of the proposal to list monarch butterflies under the Endangered Species Act as “threatened.”

Monarch butterflies have incredible value as pollinators and as an iconic American species. Yet in recent years, their numbers have dwindled to dangerous lows; recent monarch numbers are the lowest they’ve been in years. Without action, we’re on a trajectory to lose monarchs to extinction in a matter of decades.

This proposed listing comes at a critical juncture, while we still have an opportunity to save this species from disappearing. Strong ESA protections will provide the tools to save vital habitat and enact measures to support the monarch’s life cycle. To support their recovery, we also ask that you strengthen the proposed 4(d) rule.

Please move forward in listing monarch butterflies as threatened under the ESA as soon as possible, and give them the strong protective regulations they need to recover.

Thank you,
