Arizona Monarch Conservation Partnership (National Fish and Wildlife Foundation Oct.2015-Sep.2016)

In partnership with the Southwest Monarch Study, Borderlands Restoration, the Southwest Center at the University of Arizona and Sky Island Alliance, the project will significantly advance monarch butterfly conservation in Arizona through milkweed (Asclepias spp) surveys, seed collection, increasing Asclepias availability and density, native plant propagation and habitat improvement, monarch adult and immature monitoring in breeding areas, and tagging monarchs to determine migration flyways.
