Title:

FWS R8 Ventura Monarch and Milkweed [U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service]

Description:

This proposed project will advance the conservation for the western monarch butterfly, a species currently on the USFWS candidate list and whose status of the species will be evaluated for listing in 2023. Due to the species' alarming rates of decline, our region (Region 8 - Pacific Southwest) is prioritizing projects and partnerships that support Western monarch butterfly conservation. According to the Xerces Society, the five key steps to recovering the western monarch population are: 1) protect and manage California overwintering sites; 2) restore breeding and migratory habitat in California; 3) protect monarchs and their habitat from pesticides; 4) protect, manage, and restore summer breeding and fall migration monarch habitat outside of California; and 5) answer key research questions about how to best aid western monarch recovery.
