Look closely and you will see an orange tip butterfly photographed yesterday. One of many butterflies enjoying the garden yesterday.
Unfortunately it seems the Monarch Butterflies of Canada and the USA are having a difficult time , with a 90% reduction of numbers reported. The Article can be found atwww.davidsuzuki.org/monarchs
Worryingly the organisation states that "after a couple of years of modest improvement, the Monarch population dropped by 25 % last year."
Such drastic drops in wildlife populations, over a short period of time are likely to occur much more frequently, unless we as a society, take measures now, to protect our natural treasures.
