A new study just dropped showing a 22% decline in U.S. butterfly populations since 2000. And before you swipe past it like it’s another sad nature fact—understand this: butterflies are bioindicators. They’re telling us that the ecosystem is changing, and not in a good way.

This isn’t just about nature walks and school projects. If you work in agriculture, logistics, climate tech—or frankly anything that touches real-world systems—you better pay attention. Environmental collapse doesn’t wait for your Jira tickets to clear.

Conservation used to feel like someone else’s job. But the systems we build—servers, grids, supply chains—they all exist inside bigger systems. When those break, we break.
