For Immediate Release, April 29, 2021 Contact: Members of Congress Request $50 Million to Save Monarch Butterflies WASHINGTON For the first time ever, 56 U.S. representatives have urged the House Appropriations Committee to spend $50 million per year to stabilize and help recover monarch butterflies. Today’s letter, led by Reps. Jimmy Panetta (D-Calif.) and Salud Carbajal (D-Calif.), notes that the monarch population has plummeted more than 80% in the past two decades. Specifically, lawmakers requested that the committee allocate $25 million to support the conservation of western monarch butterflies in line with the spirit of the Monarch Action, Recovery, and Conservation of Habitat Act (MONARCH Act). The MONARCH Act, introduced March 17, would provide emergency funds for on-the-ground conservation projects that would help pull western monarchs back from the brink of extinction.
