2021—</span>In the last four editions of the year’s <a href="http://www.namonarchs.org/international-monarch-monitoring-blitz/" style="box-sizing:border-box;background-color:transparent;text-decoration-line:none;color:rgb(0,168,212)" target="_blank">annual International Monarch Monitoring Blitz</a> (the Blitz), thousands of volunteers in Canada, Mexico and the United States joined efforts to gather over 4,000 observations of monarchs and milkweeds! Let’s continue this remarkable effort and share as many observations as we can from July 23 to August 1, 2021.</p><p style="box-sizing:border-box;color:rgb(110,110,110);font-family:Lato,"Helvetica Neue",Helvetica,Arial,sans-serif;font-size:16px">For 10 days, the Blitz invites people across North America to look for milkweed plants and survey them for monarch eggs, caterpillars, chrysalises and butterflies. This information will help researchers identify priority areas for monarch conservation actions. Data gathered during the Blitz is uploaded to the <a href="https://birdscanada.org/birdmon/tmkn/main.jsp" style="box-sizing:border-box;background-color:transparent;text-decoration-line:none;color:rgb(0,168,212)" target="_blank">Trinational Monarch Knowledge Network</a>, where it is accessible for anyone to consult and download.</p><p style="box-sizing:border-box;color:rgb(110,110,110);font-family:Lato,"Helvetica Neue",Helvetica,Arial,sans-serif;font-size:16px">Every observation shared helps the scientific community conserve the monarch butterfly along its migratory routes. “The western migratory population is at an all-time low, so every observation of a monarch is incredibly valuable this year,” says Emma Pelton, Senior Conservation Biologist at the Xerces Society for Invertebrate Conservation.</p><p style="box-sizing:border-box;color:rgb(110,110,110);font-family:Lato,"Helvetica Neue",Helvetica,Arial,sans-serif;font-size:16px">The yearly snapshots of monarch and milkweed abundance help us better understand the dynamic between the summer generations and their breeding habitat. Since both monarchs and milkweed are found across North America during the time of the Blitz, we absolutely need the public’s help during this special week.</p><p style="box-sizing:border-box;color:rgb(110,110,110);font-family:Lato,"Helvetica Neue",Helvetica,Arial,sans-serif;font-size:16px">“Data obtained over a long period of time are essential for performing trend analysis. It is therefore crucial that we continue documenting the monarch summer breeding population each year to better understand how and why it fluctuates over time,” says Nancy Sheehan, Journey North Program Coordinator, UW-Madison Arboretum.</p><p style="box-sizing:border-box;color:rgb(110,110,110);font-family:Lato,"Helvetica Neue",Helvetica,Arial,sans-serif;font-size:16px">To take part in the Blitz, simply share your observations on one of the participating community science programs.</p><p style="box-sizing:border-box;color:rgb(110,110,110);font-family:Lato,"Helvetica Neue",Helvetica,Arial,sans-serif;font-size:16px">Go to <a href="https://www.mission-monarch.org/en/" style="box-sizing:border-box;background-color:transparent;text-decoration-line:none;color:rgb(0,168,212)" target="_blank">Mission Monarch</a> if you are in Canada.
