Recent studies show that the population of monarch butterflies has declined drastically over the past decade. Scientists believe that the main reason behind this decline is the loss of milkweed plants, which are the primary food source for monarch caterpillars. Other factors such as climate change and the use of pesticides have also contributed to the shrinking butterfly population. Several conservation groups are now promoting the planting of milkweed to restore the butterfly population.
