Do Monarch Butterflies Need Federal Protection?

Monarch butterfly populations are declining and the feds are evaluating whether the insects need some kind of federal protection.

The U.S. Agriculture Department is also trying to help conserve the monarchs.

Here to talk about all of this is Gail Morris, the coordinator of the Arizona-based Southwest Monarch Study.

Mark Brodie is a co-host of The Show, KJZZ’s locally produced news magazine. Since starting at KJZZ in 2002, Brodie has been a host, reporter and producer, including several years covering the Arizona Legislature, based at the Capitol.
