The Malibu Monarch Project recently partnered with Monarch Joint Venture to expand its conservation work. As the name suggests, MMP is a group of locals attempting to help conserve and restore the overwintering monarchs in Malibu. The group has taught at schools, donated plants and helped plant butterfly gardens.
With the support of the national group, MMP plans to collect more data, enhance information exchange and collaborate on future developments.
In a statement provided by the MMP, Georgia Goldfarb said: “We are honored to an MJV partner. Through this partnership, in the extraordinary landscape of the Santa Monica Mountains, we will be able to strengthen our efforts to educate our community, support habitat restoration and facilitate a collaboration between the many individuals and organizations concerned about monarch health.”
