Since its listing as endangered in 2000, Fender's blue numbers have increased dramatically, partly due to our environmental efforts at Fern Ridge Reservoir, which include protecting native plants like Kincaid's lupine, control of invasive species, and improving monitoring. The Fender's blue butterfly is found only in Oregon's Willamette Valley. It was believed to be extinct from 1937 until 1989. Thanks to recovery efforts we've been a part of since 2000, this butterfly is being downlisted from "endangered" to "threatened." Here's how we would *like* to imagine the Fender's blue butterfly: jamming out with a grunge ballad to celebrate its miraculous recovery and downlisting from "endangered" to "threatened," which takes effect today.
