Climate ChangeMonarchs in Peril?No one knows when millions of monarch butterflies began crisscrossing North America, spending their winters clustered on the same hillsides in Central Mexico. Scientists saw the migration as the proof of insect evolution — a brittle organism that could fly 6,000 miles a year to avoid severe weather. Now, the monarch has morphed into a different kind of symbol. One of the world's oldest, most resilient species could be decimated by climate change.

There are still 30,000 acres of Monarch SAFE in WI, which is a special type of CRP designed for monarchs and other pollinators. The goal is to improve native grassland habitats for rare, threatened, endangered, and declining species that are dependent on native prairie communities on privately owned and currently cropped land.
