enhancement and protection is vital. The Ojibway Prairie in Windsor, ON is unique, with\u00a0 incredible biodiversity and an impressive number of rare plants and animals.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><!-- divi:paragraph --><\/p>\n<p>A recently discovered challenge to the plant diversity in the area is that members of the public have been cutting milkweed plants out of the beautiful (and protected) prairie habitat to feed it to monarch butterflies they are attempting to rear at home.<\/p>\n<p>Citizen science is an important aspect of conservation and seeing so many individuals spending time and energy on what they believe to be a good cause is refreshing. However, milkweed removal from parkland can cause more harm than good.<\/p>\n<p><!-- \/divi:paragraph --> <!-- divi:paragraph --><\/p>\n<p><strong>Milkweed removal is harmful<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Milkweed harvesting removes an important food source for the wild population of monarchs that already exists at Ojibway Prairie.<\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/royalsocietypublishing.org\/doi\/10.1098\/rsbl.2019.0922\">According to a recent study<\/a>, captive-reared monarchs are generally half as strong as wild ones and less likely to successfully complete their long migration to Mexico.
