Mankind and the Monarch
Butterfly
Climate change and
habitat loss impact many species.
Because of its fragility, wildlife is often
one of the quickest to suffer. An image oft seen is the polar bear
floating on the small bit of ice. Or the panda bear suffering due to
loss of habitat. These are powerful images. But what about those
species less thought of? Their struggle to survive is just as
important. Their small size and limited habitats act as a
'canary in the mine shaft' regarding climate change.
One such species is the mighty monarch
butterfly.
