In the US alone, the number of monarch butterflies(黑月永金斑蝶)has seen a drop of 80%, from scientists recording millions of them in the 1980s, and only 29,000 in 2020. It's part of a wider possibility across the insect group.

It is very important to protect them because their disappearance could have a huge economic influence. Butterflies are also helpful in the coal mine for other insects, as it is easier for them to feel the environmental change, and relatively easy to record.Leading environmental organizations have been working hard to find new ways of recording the number of butterflies. As of now, there is no long-term data to develop good protection methods. The scientists wanted to address the challenge that long-term recording programs worldwide have faced: they are focusing on training locals as insect experts, which requires much money. They came up with a new method to the problem. In Yasuni National Park, they hired park rangers(护林员)who were trained and then carried out recording. The rangers were able to recognize butterflies with an 85% success rate, which is important for these kinds of recording programs to be successful.Compared with other recording projects, this study represents a long-term solution. Our method increases the chance of recording in the long term by reducing the money spent on it such as wages/ said lead author Maria Checa. nFurthermore, it also offers opportunities for public organizations to achieve their environmental goals/18、How does the author develop the first paragraph?A.
