MONARCH BUTTERFLY POPULATION IN MEXICO INCREASES 144%
The Monarch Butterfly voyage to its sanctuaries
in Mexico is a circumambulation journey played
on the rough geography of North America. Every
year hundreds of millions of monarch butterflies
undertake an annual migration from Canada and
the United States to their wintering grounds in
the oyamel forests of Mexico.
Monarchs travel more than 4000 kilometres
even though they have never made the journey
before. They have their own internal compass
that points them in the right direction. Monarchs
are a pollinating species that plays a
fundamental role in the survival of several
species of flowering plants in Mexico, Canada and the United States. Visiting the sanctuaries
where this species hibernates is a humbling and rewarding experience. These sanctuaries are
considered among the four natural beauties recognized by UNESCO as World Heritage.
