Officials with the University of Illinois Extension say the population of the monarch butterfly has dropped by more than 50 percent — meaning, it could become an endangered species, despite the best efforts of people, including locally, to try and increase the population. Chris Enroth, University of Illinois Extension Educator, talks about it with Will Stevenson on Galesburg’s Evening News.
