MONARCHS ARE THREATENED! Planting trees can help save this iconic species!

We are raising funds to reforest a crucial ecosystem

The monarch butterfly undertakes one of the most extraordinary migrations in the insect world, traveling thousands of miles across North America each year. This iconic species holds deep cultural and ecological significance. It is the state insect of six U.S. states, a symbol of Michoacán, Mexico, and a beloved classroom favorite in schools across the country.

Yet today, the monarch's future hangs in the balance. The old-growth forests they rely on for survival are constantly threatened by severe storms, illegal logging, and clearcutting. Without immediate action to protect and restore these vital habitats, monarch populations will continue to decline. In fact, monarch butterflies are now proposed for listing as threatened under the Endangered Species Act—a stark warning that their survival is at risk.

Forests for Monarchs is taking action. We work hand-in-hand with local communities and landowners to restore degraded lands to their natural state by planting native trees in and around the Monarch Butterfly Biosphere Reserve. This reforestation is critical to providing the shelter monarchs need to complete their epic migration and thrive for generations to come.

Since our founding in 1997, and thanks to the generosity of supporters like you, we have planted over 13.5 million trees and restored more than 12,000 acres of forest in Michoacán. But with monarchs facing unprecedented challenges, our work has never been more urgent.

Join us in safeguarding this remarkable species. Every dollar you give directly supports our reforestation efforts—ensuring that monarch butterflies continue to grace our skies and inspire future generations.

Together, we can protect monarchs and the forests they call home. Donate today.
