Voices of Courage, May 12, 2021 - a podcast by BBS Radio, BBS Network Inc.

Today we discuss the urgency of saving the threatened monarch migration.

My guest, Sara Dykman, works in amphibian research and as an outdoor educator, guiding young people into nature so they can delight in its complicated brilliance, and is the founder of BeyondaBook.org, which fosters lifelong learners, boundary-pushers, explorers, and stewards. She joins me today to discuss her journey of riding a bicycle 10,201 miles to learn about the migration and be a voice for the monarchs. Sara shares how and why the monarchs have suffered dramatic declines in recent decades, the challenges they are faced with, and how we can all help support the monarchs and protect them from extinction.

We Discuss:

What the annual, multinational, multi-generational monarch migration looks like
Why the monarch population has suffered such dramatic declines in recent decades
How everyone can help the monarch by planting native flowers, including milkweed
The importance of milkweed and why planting it can keep monarch populations healthy
How we can inspire our children to tune into nature so that they have richer lives
