    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.
