In 2025, the Monarch Joint Venture took on Journey North, a longstanding community science program tracking monarch butterflies and other migratory species.

If you're looking to learn more about this program, along with MJV's other community science programs like the Monarch Larva Monitoring Project and the Integrated Monarch Monitoring Program, join us on Tuesday, March 10, where we'll learn more about the programs and explore how to participate in each of them.

Whether you want to submit your first sighting when you see a monarch this spring or you want to deepen your involvement in community science, this course will discuss how you can contribute meaningful data and be part of the monarch conservation story. Find the link to sign up in the comments.

Over 20 partner organizations, including the Monarch Joint Venture, came together to deploy over 400 transmitters on migrating monarchs during fall 2025 for Project Monarch, a collaborative effort founded by Cellular Tracking Technologies and the Cape May Point Arts & Science Center.

The project has shattered previous limitations in butterfly tracking, providing scientists with high-resolution, near-real-time data on individual butterflies as they navigate their incredible fall journey.

Tagged monarchs have been tracked from the Rocky Mountains to the East Coast on their travels down to Florida, Mexico, and the Caribbean. As of Nov. 9, some tagged monarchs started reaching overwintering areas in Mexico.

Take a look at the map of this year's tagged monarchs here, or download the Project Monarch app to view individual monarchs' migration routes.

For more information on this collaborative effort, as well as a recent New York Times feature story, check the comments.
