A new analysis shows that Western monarch butterflies prefer private land during migration, highlighting the need for private-land conservation to ensure their survival.
This study is the first analysis of land ownership within the butterfly's Western migration corridor. To protect the monarch, we can't just depend on the federal government.
Emma Pelton emphasized the necessity for collaboration, stating that it demonstrates the need for public and private partnerships in modern conservation.
The Western monarch butterfly has suffered a dramatic population decline of 90% or more since the 1980s, stressing the urgency of conservation efforts.
