Long-term Impact Assessment of the CEC Monarch Butterfly Conservation Work (1996–2016)

Description

Since 1996, the Commission for Environmental Cooperation has been actively involved in the conservation of the monarch butterfly (Danaus plexippus), a symbol of trinational environmental cooperation between Canada, Mexico, and the United States. Although interrupted for a few years, CEC efforts to conserve the species intensified after population declines were recorded at overwintering sites in Mexico in 2005 (Rendon-Salinas and Galindo-Leal 2005).
