  The migratory monarch butterfly ( Danaus plexippus plexippus ), known for its spectacular annual journey of up to 4,000 kilometres across the Americas, has entered the IUCN Red List of Threatened SpeciesTM as Endangered, threatened by habitat destruction and climate change. All surviving sturgeon species – also migratory, found across the northern hemisphere – are now at risk of extinction due to dams and poaching, pushing the world’s most Critically Endangered group of animals yet closer to the brink. Yet these Monarch butterflies , once a familiar sight, are plummeting toward extinction due to landscape-scale threats from pesticides , development and climate change. That's why the Center is working hard to win them protection under the U.S. Endangered Species Act. Monarchs have declined 85% in two decades. Species categorized as Endangered (EN) . The methods for calculating the global RLI are described in Butchart et al. 2007 and here , with the methods for calculating confid...
