Ways to Defend Biodiversity this Earth Week
A monarch butterfly drinks nectar from a purple coneflower in the middle of a field of wildflowers. The monarch is orange-brown with black markings. The coneflowers have a reddish-brown raised dome in the center that is surrounded by drooping purple petals. The other flowers in the meadow are yellow and pink, and beyond is wall of green trees that forms the edge of a woodland.
