Monarch Butterflies and Climate Change

Monarch Butterflies and Climate Change by Corrina Walsh

A quick look at the positive and negative effects of climate change on Monarch butterflies, and what's being done as well as what you can do to contribute to the conservation of Monarch Butterflies.

The idea was inspired by the Monarch Caterpillar brought in a fellow student (Pearl)  that we then raised from a caterpillar until it emerged as a butterfly in Janet's class in September, 2017.

Once our Monarch Butterfly emerged we made sure it was fed, we tagged it for the Citizen Science Monarch Watch Tagging Program  (through Monarch Watch) and released it for it's migration to Mexico.

Our school also has a Monarch Weigh Station to provide habitat for Monarch Butterflies and other nectaring insects.

Here is my project to raise awareness on the impact of climate change on Monarch's and what we can do to help!
