The Problem
As a lifelong lover of butterflies, Monarchs especially, I joined the Monarch Watch Program to help promote healthy and natural growth during all cycles of the Monarch and to tag them so that they can be tracked on their 3000 mile trip to Mexico in an effort to help understand the journey. Also to be able to create/identify where they stop to rest and eat and about how many of them actually make the entire journey. Monarch populations are dwindling due to loss of habitat, predators and pollution/pesticides.
