Environmental Defence Fund is driving a conservation movement on America’s farms and ranches through the Monarch Butterfly Habitat Exchange. Every $35 donation sponsors one acre of habitat to help support the revival of monarchs. See how here.
In just two decades, the monarch butterfly population has plummeted by a heartbreaking 90 percent, primarily due to the loss of critical milkweed habitat.

Watch to learn why farmers and ranchers like the Duncansons are the monarch butterfly’s best hope for a thriving future. Here is a direct video link.
