John,

A few weeks ago, we shared the encouraging news that the eastern monarch butterfly population has nearly doubled in 2025.

To keep the excitement aflutter, you can tune in to 60 Minutes on CBS at 7pm ET tonight and travel with us to Mexico’s Monarch Butterfly Biosphere Reserve to explore the wonders of monarch butterflies and their extraordinary migration. WWF’s Jorge Rickards and Eduardo Rendon spoke with Anderson Cooper about our conservation efforts with local communities as well as the threats facing monarch butterflies.

And even at home, you can support the journey of these amazing butterflies—and other pollinators—by planting nectar plants and the right species of milkweed in your own backyard. Use our milkweed finder to guide your garden!

Your support helps us protect wildlife and pollinators like monarch butterflies. Together, we can ensure that future generations have the chance to experience their beauty and grace, just as we have.

With gratitude,
