β€’ Californians Encouraged to Report Monarch Butterfly Sightings (independent.com) β€” San Clemente residents are being asked to help track western monarch butterflies, including at nearby San Clemente State Park, as part of California Biodiversity Day activities from September 5–13. By photographing monarchs and uploading sightings to the iNaturalist app, locals can support crucial research and conservation efforts for a species facing steep population declines and potential federal threatened status.
