California urges action amid few butterfly sightings

California officials are urging residents to report sightings of monarch butterflies amid declining populations, with the latest count recording approximately 12,260 monarchs along the state’s coast, the third-lowest tally since 1997. The drop is attributed to habitat loss, climate change, and pesticides, raising concerns about the migration's health and stability. The count is conducted annually, and citizen observations are encouraged to help inform conservation efforts.
