Monarch butterflies could gain threatened species status
Briefly

"Over the years, climate change, urbanization and pesticides have killed off big numbers of monarch butterflies. In the last two decades, Western monarch butterflies have seen a population decline of 95%."
"Despite its fragility, it is remarkably resilient, like many things in nature when we just give them a chance, said U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service Director Martha Williams."
"The monarch butterfly is a treasured, endemic species in communities across North and Central America. These butterflies take on great migrations each year, covering up to 3,000 miles."
