Local dignitaries flocked to the monarch grove sanctuary in Pacific Grove yesterday in support of the struggling monarch butterflies.
Congressman Jimmy Panetta, Pacific Grove Mayor Bill Peake and many more joined together in favor of “the monarch action, recovery, and conservation of habitat (monarch) act,”
The legislation would establish a western monarch butterfly rescue fund of over 62-million dollars… to be released over a five year period. The bill must pass thru two committees before going to congress for a vote.
Monarch experts say they’ve seen a 99-percent decrease in the monarch population since the 1980s.
