MJV is running a crowdfunding campaign to support 2017 monarch conservation projects across the U.S. Please contribute to and share this campaign widely!
More than 50 conservation, education, and research partners from across the United States are working together to conserve the monarch migration under the MJV.
This plan identifies and prioritizes current important actions for U.S. monarch conservation to facilitate cooperation and coordination among diverse organizations working together in accomplishing our nation’s monarch and pollinator goals.
The Monarch Joint Venture (MJV) is a partnership of federal and state agencies, non-governmental organizations, and academic programs that are working together to support and coordinate efforts to protect the monarch migration across the lower 48 United States.
