Butterflies are disappearing: How Colorado community scientists are working to save them
88% Informative
North American butterfly populations have declined by more than 22% over the last two decades .
Scientists are calling for volunteers to help gather data on butterflies so organizations know where to focus resources to save the insects.
Colorado Butterfly Monitoring Network started with five volunteers in 2013 .
The network of Colorado volunteers had spent nearly 4,900 hours on trails across the state.
The public needs to be engaged in tracking Colorado 's butterfly populations, ecologist says.
Scientists have solid trend data on less than half of known butterfly populations.
The monitoring network helps scientists know where to focus their efforts and if they're moving in the right direction.
The good news is that scientists know what butterflies need and how to help.
