The Integrated Monarch Monitoring Program (IMMP) is a national initiative to monitor monarch butterfly populations and habitat throughout the breeding range. The IMMP uses a spatially balanced sampling scheme and draws from existing citizen science programs to deliver a suite of protocols that capture many aspects of habitat quality, threats, and monarch use of that habitat. Data gathered through the IMMP contribute to existing population and habitat models that inform broad scale monarch conservation! 

Citizen scientists, conservation professionals, land managers, and researchers are all truly vital to this effort; one group alone cannot cover enough ground to capture the information that is needed, so we need an all-hands-on-deck approach to conserving and monitoring monarchs.

Attend a training workshop to learn about how you can participate in this program and help conserve monarchs and their threatened migratory phenomenon. Visit our website for more information and to register for a workshop.
