Ask the EPA to save monarchs and enact stronger regulations on its herbicides today.

Created by C.C. on May 23, 2014

The migrating population of monarchs is at a record low, a tiny fraction of what it once was: a mere 33.5 million down from a previous 1 billion butterflies. Potent and dangerous herbicides are killing off these majestic creatures as the EPA stands by and watches.

If the current rate of decline persists, monarchs could be at high risk of extinction. Ask the EPA to save monarchs and enact stronger regulations on its herbicides today.

Glyphosate and other herbicides are destroying milkweed, the only food source for monarch caterpillars. Monarchs simply can't survive without milkweed, so it's crucial that the EPA put some common sense limits on the chemicals that are killing them off.

Tell the EPA to adopt tough new restrictions on the weed killers that are wiping out monarchs.
