They’re the one multigenerational migrant recognized to science. In a single yr, 4 generations are wanted to make the close to 3,000-mile spherical journey from the US and Canada to the forest of Michoacan, Mexico. In 2019 I had the dignity of main a Zoo crew to the Monarch Butterfly Biosphere Reserve – A World Heritage web site. What we witnessed was really breathtaking. Skies crammed with Monarchs in an unprecedented show of Natures majesty.
The true fantastic thing about this spectacle is that we’re a part of the story. Each time you invite a monarch butterfly to your yard by planting milkweed or nectar crops that gasoline their migration you add your voice to the tens of millions of individuals and organizations guaranteeing their future. And in case you are fortunate, you may be visited by this orange and black ambassador from Mom Nature and can host the beginning of a brand new era of Monarchs!
