While a few species have actually increased, many more have declined—some dramatically. Of 554 species, 107 declined by over 50%. Even still, providing habitat & reducing pesticides can change things! Learn more🔗 xerces.org/press 67931

Sam Sanders @samsandersleder.bsky.social · 12/02/2025I was told many times over in grad school that painting flowers or garden imagery “wasn’t contemporary.” And here I am now, still doing just that. My new series, “To Grow Something Good,” is big, bold, and vibrant— these paintings take up SPACE. I’m not interested in feeling small. 😤 060

Numbers had increased slightly after the 2020 all-time-low, so this year's sharp drop is troubling. Learn more & get involved 🦋 xerces.org/press/wester... 65217
