Special | 4m 43sVideo has Closed Captions
Encouraging farmers and golf courses to create more habitat for monarch butterflies.
Monarch butterfly populations are declining, because of overwintering habitat loss, extreme weather, and milkweed availability. The butterflies only lay eggs on milkweed. BASF is helping farmers create butterfly habitat in non-crop areas. BASF is also working with golf courses to do the same.
