Saving the migratory Monarch butterfly
The fragile-looking Monarch butterfly possesses a strength and resilience that allows it to survive a migration that covers thousands of miles through the heart of the country.

That resilience is now put to the test, as habitat destruction and climate change have made it necessary to officially list the insect’s status as “endangered.” Tribes are among those helping to protect Monarchs, for both cultural and environmental reasons.
