Environmental Campaign: #SAVETHEMONARCH

#SAVETHEMONARCH is an environmental campaign created by the National Wildlife Federation (NWF). The problem which resulted in the creation of this campaign was that Monarch butterflies are having trouble laying their eggs on milkweed since there are becoming harder to find. Milkweed is being removed from farmlands and backyards with pesticides. The pesticides are killing the butterflies ultimately causing a decline in Monarch butterflies. This campaign gives 6 ways to save Monarch Butterflies which include 
1. Help Save Grasslands 2. Support Highway Habitat Corridor 3. Plant Milkweed 4. Don’t Use Pesticides 5. Create Monarch Habitat 6. Join NWF Affiliate Efforts in Your State.
