an endangered species. </span> <span data-start-time='8292' data-end-time='28917'>Scientists say the dropping numbers of monarchs are due to climate change, loss of habitat and the use of pesticides -chemicals that kill insects - and herbicides - chemicals that kills plants.</span> <span data-start-time='28917' data-end-time='38979'>But there are things that people living in the United States can do to help the beloved black-and-orange insects.</span> <span data-start-time='38979' data-end-time='46396'>One of the quickest and best ways to help is to plant milkweed on your property. </span> <span data-start-time='46396' data-end-time='51688'>Milkweed is a kind of plant that has white juice. </span> <span data-start-time='51688' data-end-time='57583'>Monarch butterflies eat milkweed and lay their eggs there. </span> <span data-start-time='57583' data-end-time='61458'>They need milkweed to survive.</span> <span data-start-time='61458' data-end-time='66229'>It is important to choose the right kind of milkweed. </span> <span data-start-time='66229' data-end-time='75000'>Dawn Rodney is a chief officer at the National Wildlife Federation in Reston, Virginia. </span> <span data-start-time='75000' data-end-time='79875'>She said not all milkweed is the same.</span> <span data-start-time='79875' data-end-time='95729'>“There is an invasive species called tropical milkweed that we're seeing more and more, and people are not understanding that it does more harm than good," Rodney said.</span> <span data-start-time='95729' data-end-time='105292'>Planting tropical milkweed in the United States is a problem because it is not native to the country. </span> <span data-start-time='105292' data-end-time='110167'>It blooms or flowers for longer periods of time. </span> <span data-start-time='110167' data-end-time='116438'>This can make it harder for monarchs to know when it is time to migrate.</span> <span data-start-time='116438' data-end-time='125917'>To find the right kind of milkweed, you can use the National Wildlife Federation’s Native Plant finder.</span> <span data-start-time='125917' data-end-time='135542'>Other plants, especially ones with flowers that have nectar, can be helpful to adult monarchs.</span> <span data-start-time='135542' data-end-time='140646'>Be sure to choose plants that are native to your area. </span> <span data-start-time='140646' data-end-time='146979'>These plants can be good-quality food sources for the butterflies.</span> <span data-start-time='146979' data-end-time='153375'>It is a good idea to include plants that bloom later in the growing season. </span> <span data-start-time='153375' data-end-time='161375'>These plants can help give monarchs the energy they need for their yearly migration in autumn.</span>
