Since 2009, the MJV has brought together partners from across the United States in a unified effort to conserve the North American monarch butterfly migration. This diverse partnership ranges from government agencies to NGOs, businesses, and academic institutions that work together to implement science-based conservation actions in the form of education, habitat, and research. As a leader in monarch conservation, the MJV supports conservation planning and implementation efforts on a broad scale by facilitating information sharing, partnership building, and carrying out identified conservation priorities. We facilitate multiple working groups that focus on things like communications, agriculture, and monitoring . Additionally, the MJV funds our partners to carry out priority conservation actions. Beyond this, we provide key and accessible information on monarchs and their conservation to various sectors and the public. To reach our nation’s ambitious monarch and habitat targets, commitment from a diverse set of stakeholders is required. The MJV works to recruit, educate, engage, and inspire to action a broad spectrum of individuals and entities, both partner and non-partner.
