The monarch population has experienced a dramatic decline over the last decade. What is causing this
decline? What does it mean for the future of the monarch population? This talk will review the factors
leading to the decline and will highlight critical actions that need to be taken. John Drummond has been
working with monarch butterflies for over 20 years. He has been tagging monarchs since 1993 and has
mentored monarch research students at Lafayette College, Easton, PA where he has been teaching for
10 years. More recently, his focus has been on monarch conservation education. “At this most critical
time for monarch butterflies, my goal is to inspire as many people as I can to engage in monarch
conservation efforts,” says Drummond.
