The Amazing Monarch Butterfly: A Migratory Journey that Connects Three Countries

Greg is a research scientist with the Wildlife Research Division of Environment and Climate Change Canada and is the Canadian Co-Chair of the Trinational Monarch Conservation Science Partnership. Greg’s primary job as a research scientist is to understand why Species-At-Risk in Canada are disappearing, such as the monarch butterfly, so that we can help increase their numbers again. Greg has been fortunate enough to take two trips down to where the monarch butterflies spend the winter in high up in the mountains in central Mexico and is passionate about monarch conservation. Today, he is going to be talking about the monarch’s amazing migration, some of his research on monarchs that relies on community members like you, and what we can do to help the monarch butterfly throughout their range.
