Bill overview
The Monarch Action, Recovery, and Conservation of Habitat Act of 2021, or the MONARCH Act, aims to protect the western monarch butterfly population, which is at risk of extinction. The bill establishes a fund to provide grants for conservation projects focused on restoring habitats like milkweed and overwintering sites. It also directs the Department of the Interior to partner with the National Fish and Wildlife Foundation to implement a conservation plan. Ultimately, the goal is to support efforts to increase the butterfly population and protect pollinator ecosystems.
