Default Monarch butterfly endangered, Monsanto product kills 900 million butterflies!!!

By Marcus Hondro yesterday in Environment

The US Fish and Wildlife Service issued a press release on Monday that details a tragedy many are unaware of: the monarch butterfly has been nearly wiped out. A major reason this is happening? A product from Monsanto called Roundup.

Roundup destroying milkweed

First marketed in 1973, Roundup eradicates weeds and allows commercial crops to grow unmolested. The main ingredient is Glyphosate, and despite widespread use all over the world, its effect upon humans, other animals and the environment is still debated. Crops are genetically modified by Monsanto to become Roundup Ready; modified, they can survive Roundup — weeds cannot.
Roundup is used heavily by agricultural producers, homeowners and governments. Due to such heavy use, Monsanto's Roundup is eradicating milkweed. The vast destruction of milkweed creates a problem for the monarch butterfly, because milkweed is its main food source.

The U.S. Fish and Wildlife press release said there once were as many as one billion monarchs in the U.S. but that number has dwindled by 90 percent. No milkweed, no monarch.

Andrew Kimbrell, executive director for the Center for Food Safety, finds the situation "shameful." "This report is a wake-up call," Kimbrell said.

"This iconic species is on the verge of extinction because of Monsanto's Roundup Ready crop system. To let the monarch butterfly die out in order to allow Monsanto to sell its signature herbicide for a few more years is simply shameful.”

Fight to save Monarch butterfly

The press release from the Wildlife Service indicates they are not going to allow the monarch to become extinct. The Service is partnering with the National Wildlife Federation in a new funding initiative and in launching a Monarch Butterfly Conservation Fund.

A website has been created for the public to learn about the plight of the monarch and how they can help.

The Service is immediately providing $2 million in funding and intends to get groups and individuals to help with planting native milkweed and nectar plants, again giving monarchs a food source in areas they have dwindled in or disappeared from. Land has been targeted on which to again grow the plants the monarch butterfly needs.

The president and CEO of the National Wildlife Federation, Collin O'Mara, said that if individuals, groups and state and federal governments get behind the initiative to restore the monarch butterfly he believes they will "ensure that every American child has a chance to experience amazing monarchs in their backyards."

“By taking action today and addressing the growing threats that are affecting so much of America’s treasured wildlife - habitat loss, pesticide overuse and climate change - we will preserve monarchs and America’s rich wildlife legacy," O'Mara said.

Mosquitoes probably kill more people than people do.

If you don't have clean water, nothing else matters much.

If you spend too long holding onto the one who treats you like an option, you'll miss finding the one who will make a priority

No matter how good you are to people in their time of need, doesn't mean they will remember your kindness in your time of need.
