Some threats that can harm the butterfly are deforestation, and the destruction of their habitats. If the butterfly’s habitat or home is being destroyed then they will not survive. Pesticides, which are chemicals that are sprayed onto plants to keep insects and bugs away, can also harm butterflies. Many farmers spray them on their plants, so they can keep growing strong and healthy, but this also harms the good insects and pollinators, including the monarch butterfly.
The monarch butterfly is endangered, which means that we have to protect it before there are no longer any butterflies left. It’s important to think about minimizing the harm to them, so we can protect these butterflies. So, if you see butterflies, or any other plants or animals, where you live, do a bit of quick research on them to find out more about them. Learning is one way you can show you care!
