Nebraska Monarch and Pollinator Conservation Plan
This Nebraska plan aims to conserve and grow monarch populations to avoid the need for a threatened or endangered species listing.
In order to develop an effective conservation strategy for monarchs and other insect pollinators, a team for this planning project reached out to stakeholders with the goal of being all-inclusive. Input weaved into this plan came primarily from conservation practitioners, government organizations, non-government organizations, agricultural groups, businesses, and educators who met to express their ideas and concerns at a summit in Lincoln, Nebraska, in February 2016. With partners communicating and in many cases working collaboratively to conserve habitat for monarchs, we may be able to conserve the species’ migration and breeding by growing population levels to a stable size, and avoid a need for threatened or endangered listing.
