flag U.S. officials propose listing monarch butterflies as threatened due to population decline.

flag U.S. wildlife officials have proposed listing monarch butterflies as a threatened species under the Endangered Species Act, citing threats from climate change, habitat loss, and pesticide use. flag The proposal aims to protect the butterfly's population, which has decreased by about 80% in the eastern migratory group and over 95% in the western group. flag The decision would prohibit killing or transporting the butterflies, with some exceptions, and designate 4,395 acres in California as critical habitat. flag The public can comment on the proposal until March 2025.
