Wings Without Borders: A Unifying Approach to Endangered Species Conservation
Mission Overview
A community-driven initiative focused on monarch butterfly conservation addressing species decline through active conservation, education, and community engagement. "We bring together and support a local community to think globally as interconnected links along the migratory route of the monarch butterfly. Our commitment is to provide free milkweed seeds to anyone who requests!"
We have several projects in the NYC Participatory Budgeting Proposal phase:

White Paper on AI technology in service of monarch butterfly conservation.
The US Fish and Wildlife Service has just proposed listing the monarch butterfly as "threatened" under the Endangered Species Act. We have been predicting his announcement for years. Join this urgent mission. Please add your email or contact us directly to discuss how we can collaborate.
Share Butterfly Tagging Experiences!
Connected with other monarch conservationists and contribute to citizen science!
The monarch butterfly is unique in its ability to migrate thousands of miles to complete a miraculous journey from Canada, across North America to find a particular mountainside in Central where it has never been. Using not totally understood navigational sensors in their antennas they can locate the Oyamel fir tree forests in Michoacan Mexico where they roost over winter. We invite you to participate in a growing international network of people and communities along the monarch flyway using tags provided by Monarch Watch and data from Journey North.
We encourage members to take, save, share photos and videos of tagged monarch butterflies, especially if you had role in it's survival, and share this story on our Wings Without Borders public Facebook group.
Sign up for Free Milkweed seeds!!
As part of our mission to encourage the creation of monarch butterfly waystations throughout the country, we'll send free milkweed seeds to all who ask (while supplies last).
