“As a leader in monarch and pollinator conservation, the mjv supports monarch conservation planning and implementation efforts on a broad scale by facilitating information sharing, partnership building, and carrying out identified conservation priorities. Some of our primary activities and accomplishments include convening a national network meeting annually, drawing over 200 professionals from across the country to learn, network, and advance conservation priorities and cross-sector collaboration. Throughout the year, we facilitate partnership through online tools, working groups, and regional meet-ups. We provide clear, concise, and vetted information and presentations to ensure our network and followers receive science-informed guidance. When funds are available, we support our network of partners with funds to advance goals within the monarch conservation implementation framework. To advance our conservation goals, our program team works directly with land managers across land use sectors (agriculture, energy and transportation, corporate, public, residential), our education team works with educational institutions and directly with educators and students to apply our curriculum and other courses, and our science team administers and applies three national science protocols to advance our understanding of monarchs and their habitats. To reach our nation's ambitious monarch and habitat targets, commitments from diverse stakeholders are required. The mjv works to recruit, educate, engage, and inspire to action a broad spectrum of individuals and entities nationwide.”
