“The monarch is the canary in the coal mine,” said Louise Zemaitis, MMP field coordinator who has been with the project almost from its start. “As its numbers decline, that signals to us that something is wrong.” “I’m a science guy. I love data and all those things, but there’s nothing quite like changing someone’s life,” McDonough said.A lot of our knowledge about monarchs is relatively recent. Science hadn’t pinpointed where monarchs wintered until the 1970s, although the butterflies’ Mexican neighbors always knew.
