Help Monarch butterflies gain protection
The Issue
Monarch Butterflies are in danger and its time to give them protection by putting them on the endangered species list. The population has gone down drastically dropping from 1 billion to about 33 million. If that does not sound like a big change then maybe putting it in human population terms will. Tierra Curry a conservation scientist said that "in human-population terms, it would be like losing every living person in the United States except those in Florida and Ohio." What are we waiting for, giving this species protection can bring us one step closer to slowing down the rapid extinction rates.
