Description
Monarch Butterfly 2018
Every year I see less and fewer butterflies here in the mountains of North Carolina. Photographed off the Blue Ridge Parkway near Maggie Valley.
National Geographic and scientific around the world discuss the loss of habitat for the butterfly decline.
"Scientists think North American monarchs have been making their amazing annual journey for thousands of years. But logging in Mexico has greatly reduced forests where these butterflies roost. Efforts to protect these lands are helping, but illegal logging still takes a toll. Since 1983, the International Union for Conservation of Nature has listed the monarch migration as a ("threatened phenomena").
