Creating Monarch Butterfly Habitat in <br /> Communities Nationwide <br />Mayors and other local government chief executives are taking action to help <br />save the monarch butterfly, an iconic species whose populations have declined by <br />90% in the last 20 years. Through the National Wildlife Federation’s Mayors' <br />Monarch Pledge, cities and municipalities are committing to create habitat and <br />educate citizens about how they can make a difference at home. There are four <br />steps to taking and implementing the pledge. <br /> <br />Take the Pledge <br />By taking the Mayors' Monarch Pledge, you are committing to both restore hab- <br />itat in your community and encourage your citizens to do the same. Read <br />the Mayors' Monarch Pledge and then take the pledge online! <br />Specify Your Actions <br />We will follow up with the point person specified in the online pledge form and <br />work to identify at least 3 specific actions that your community will take in the <br />next year. Mayors who decide to take 8 or more actions will receive special <br />recognition and become a member of the Mayors' Monarch Pledge Leadership <br />Circle. Once these specific actions have been identified, communities will <br />report their progress through a simple online survey form. Read the Mayors' <br />Monarch Pledge Action Items and then specify which actions you will take. <br />Take Action <br />Once you have taken the pledge and specified which actions your community <br />will take over the next year, it’s time to start taking action! Over the next sev- <br />eral months, NWF will be sharing best practices for cities and municipalities <br />through our online resources page, occasional email updates, social media, and <br />webinars. Please refer to our resources page for more details. <br />Report Progress <br />Once you have specified your actions and begun to take action we will ask com- <br />munities to fill out a simple reporting form on a quarterly basis. The reporting <br />process will only take about 5 minutes and the data we collect will allow us to <br />track the collective outcomes and impact of our work. <br />NATIONAL WILDLIFE FEDERATION® <br />Monarch <br />MAYORS’ <br />Mayors’ Monarch Pledge <br /> <br />www.nwf.org/MayorsMonarchPledge <br /> <br />MayorsMonarchPledge@nwf.org <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />PLEDGE
