Wings Without Borders: A Unifying Approach to Endangered Species Conservation
An AWARD WINNING community-driven initiative focused on monarch butterfly conservation addressing species decline through active conservation, education, and community engagement. "We bring together while growing our local community to think globally as interconnected links along the migratory route of the monarch butterfly. We actively promote habitat restoration, planting native pollinator flowers and milkweed wherever it grows in a community-driven model to replicate across NYC.

Monarch Butterfly in consideration for Endangered Species Act!
The US Fish and Wildlife Service has proposed listing the monarch butterfly as "threatened" under the Endangered Species Act. We have been predicting his announcement for years. Please comment in supportat the United States Fish and Wildlife Service.
Protecting Monarch Habitats
We are dedicated to engaging community to protect and preserve the natural habitats of monarch butterflies. Our conservation efforts focus on restoring native host plants essential for their survival. We create pollinator gardens called "waystations" with native milkweed to sustain the migratory monarch butterflies.

AI-enhanced Monarch Butterfly Conservation
A Holistic Defense Against Modern Threats Research Proposal Abstract
The catastrophic 90% decline in Eastern Monarch butterfly populations over the past decade necessitates innovative conservation approaches. This research initiative, led by the Inwood Butterfly Sanctuary, proposes a comprehensive AI-driven conservation strategy that integrates cutting-edge technology with community-based conservation efforts. The study aims to address critical gaps in current monarch protection approaches while pioneering new methodologies for species preservation in urban environments.
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).
