For over a decade, Environment for the Americas has focused its work on migratory bird conservation. In 2022, we launched an exciting new initiative to use our knowledge of migratory species and apply it to the conservation of monarch butterflies. Through work supported by the US Forest Service International Programs and the Department of Defense, we will implement our internship model on military installations to conduct monarch surveys and educational programs.
Engaging Military Families
Job Opportunities
Our new work takes us to California, Texas, Oklahoma, Kansas, Minnesota and other states where monarch butterflies feed, lay their eggs, and migrate. We are working with military families in all of these states to develop community science opportunities and education programs. Surveys on military installations will help to identify where suitable habitat exists and if monarchs are using them. We invite military family members of all ages to participate in this effort.
