Butterflies, In Danger

Introduction

   From the title, you tell this is going to be about butterflies. More specifically Monarch butterflies. Research from the WWF  tells that fewer of these butterflies migrated, last year, than in any years since the records started 20 years ago. You see, their population has been decreasing due to more than a few things. Less milkweed in many places, climate, and having their homes disappear.

Opinion

      I think that this is not good. Monarch butterflies pollinate plants. Milkweed and other plants are being cut down to make space for building projects. The thing is, milkweed is essential to a monarch butterflies life. They lay their eggs on only milkweed and eat only milkweed. With it being cleared, it's no wonder why monarch butterfly population is lessening. Deforestation clears their home. The weather has played a role in this, too. Heavy rain and very cold temperatures could kill them during their long migration.
