Mayors of towns and cities across America are pitching in to help save the monarch butterfly from possible extinction. One of our partners, The National Wildlife Federation, has created the Mayors’ Monarch Pledge that helps cities take specific actions to benefit this iconic species. More than 100 mayors are already on board.
Today, Mayor Ivy Taylor from San Antonio, Texas received accolades from Dr. Benjamin Tuggle, Director of the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service’s Southwest Region for being the first Mayor to agree to take all 24 Actions outlined in the Pledge! In addition, Ricardo Romo, President of the University of Texas San Antonio, signed the Monarch Pledge demonstrating the University's commitment to partner with Mayor Taylor and the San Antonio community in protecting the monarch butterfly. Thank you Mayor Taylor and President Romo!
