WASHINGTON (CN) An annual $100 million in conservation funding on the federal government’s tab could help protect the monarch butterfly from extinction, according to a letter sent to lawmakers by more than 80 conservationist groups Tuesday.
Monarch populations, which once numbered in the billions, have been dying out rapidly in recent years, says the letter, spearheaded by the Center for Biological Diversity. Recent counts show an 85% decline in the eastern U.S. population that overwinters in Mexico and a 99% decline in the western population that overwinters in California.
