Today is Western Monarch Butterfly Day, Happy Western Monarch Butterfly Day!! Western Monarch Butterfly Day is a way to celebrate these beautiful animals as well as raising awareness about them.
Western Monarch Butterflies are in trouble. The population of the Western Monarch Butterfly has hit an ''historic row'' for the second year in a row this year. In California there used to be millions of Western Monarch Butterflies, however, today there are now only 29,000 left.
Recent reports say that the population of these animals is so low that Monarch Butterflies are close to collapsing and that they are dying.
The WWF says that the main threats to Monarch Butterflies are: climate change and these animals losing their habitat.
