Monarch butterfly populations are plummeting, and pesticides are a major culprit. Widespread herbicide and insecticide use destroys milkweed, the essential plant monarchs rely on for laying eggs and feeding caterpillars. Habitat loss, combined with chemical exposure, threatens their migration and survival. Protecting these iconic pollinators requires reducing pesticide use, planting native milkweed, and creating safe habitats to support their life cycle.
