Monarchs' Winter Habitat Loss Looms in Mexico!
Conservationists and monarch experts recently warned of a critical crisis facing monarch butterflies. Research over a 28-year study period shows that degradation of vital conserved areas of forests in Mexico, where monarchs have overwintered for milleniums, has decreased by almost 90%. Also read about a team of concerned international groups are working together to help solve this imminent crisis.

We Have Met The Enemy...
We should never forget that the need to make backyard habitats more wildlife friendly arises from human expansion into habitat. Recently I have been increasingly conscious of the fact that, while promoting earth-friendly gardening is clearly important, especially on the local scale, it treats the symptom while not curing the disease.
