In July 2022, the monarch butterfly was reclassified from “declining” to “endangered” on the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) Red List of Threatened Species. The IUCN Red List is a widely used and highly regarded global resource that highlights imminent threats to the survival of various species. It is not, however, a legal classification, and the monarch butterfly is not listed under either the Federal Endangered Species Act (ESA) of 1973 or the California Endangered Species Act (CESA).
