John, spring is in the air and that means many migratory species — from monarch butterflies to humpback whales — are on the move.
To celebrate World Wildlife Day, explore our interactive webpage to learn more about migratory species and how climate change is threatening their survival:

Here are just a few examples of what you’ll learn:
# Monarch butterflies migrate up to 3,000 miles in the spring and fall, with some traveling from as far as Mexico to the northern U.S. and Canada. Climate change is making it harder for them to time their arrival right when nectar plants are blooming in order to refuel.
# Chinook salmon need a lot of energy to leap over rocks and swim against rapids. The calm waters where salmon recharge are heating up due to climate change and increasing the stress of their journey.
# The Western Arctic Herd of caribou travel over 2,000 miles per year in their 157,000 square mile territory, an area the size of California. More frequent wildfires due to climate change are threatening the caribou’s habitat and food supply.
One of the best things we can do for migratory wildlife — and everyone — is to fight climate change.
