Wendy will describe the conservation goals for monarchs in North America and a broad scale approach for engaging partners to help achieve those goals. From the perspective of the national <a href="https://monarchjointventure.us2.list-manage.com/track/click?u=36bda6a499b08e987a972ecd1&id=031eacc270&e=0ac3ba63c9" target="_blank">Monarch Conservation Implementation Plan</a>, she will illustrate how efforts across scales and topics are integrating for improved success in species recovery. Creating habitat for monarchs, other pollinators, wildlife and ecosystem services is a primary outcome of a broader strategy to engage, educate, and inspire new conservationists. Everyone has a role to play in protecting the monarch migration. This webinar will cover how MJV’s implementation pillars (habitat creation, research/monitoring, and education/outreach) work together to help us achieve our monarch and habitat targets. Join us on February 27<sup>th</sup> to set the tone for 2018 as a year of cooperation and coordination for monarchs! <a href="https://monarchjointventure.us2.list-manage.com/track/click?u=36bda6a499b08e987a972ecd1&id=b0fd8f7e83&e=0ac3ba63c9" target="_blank">Register here</a>.
