These rapid changes are negatively affecting the earth's biosphere. Several populations of vegetation and animals have suffered the effects. This is a consequence of global warming." "Dr. Oliver cited, in order to limit these losses, reduction of CO2 emissions and habitat restoration could have their role. He added that a combination of both is the best approach. By reducing greenhouse gas emissions, these butterflies could get stopped from extinction. This is not an impossible task the efforts are already underway." In reality butterflies evolved when CO2 was 7000ppm. It's less than 500 now. 2016 Monarchs CBC - They're baaaaack Monarch butterflies make big comeback Monarchs cover 4 hectares in Mexico wintering grounds this year, up from 0.67 hectares in 2013 The Associated Press Posted: Mar 01, 2016 2:17 PM ET

Thousands of monarchs were reported roosting at numerous sites from Toronto to Chicago, with countless monarchs sheltering from a powerful storm at roost sites in the Lake Erie islands and along Ohio’s Lake Erie shoreline. This once-in-a-lifetime event triggered by remnants of Tropical Storm Gordon sent monarch enthusiasts squealing with delight on social media.
