Repost from @vandanashivamovie Heartbreaking: As recently as the 1980s, the iconic orange and black Monarch butterflies numbered in the millions. . The most recent count, however, confirms this important pollinator’s severe decline. We’re down to about 29,000 Monarchs, just above last year’s all-time low. . The Monarch population has declined by over 99 percent. The much-loved butterfly is in danger of going extinct. . Why? Loss of habitat. Pesticides. Climate Change. 🦋😢😠 .
