Monarch butterfly to be listed as threatened species

U.S. wildlife officials announced a decision on Tuesday, Dec. 10 to extend federal protections to monarch butterflies after years of warnings from environmentalists that populations are shrinking and the beloved pollinator may not survive climate change.
The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service plans to add the butterfly to the threatened species list by the end of next year following an extensive public comment period.
