Summary

74% Informative

Hundreds of millions of migrating monarch butterflies settle in the forested massifs of the country’s Monarch Butterfly Biosphere Reserve .

They hibernate here for the winter before mating in the spring .

Without these trees, the butterflies would not be able to survive their exhausting journey.

Some models indicate that a climate conducive to them will have disappeared in this area by 2090 .

Seven years ago , scientists began transplanting pine seedlings collected from eight spots in the Monarch Butterfly Biosphere Reserve into a community nursery in Ejido la Mesa , in the State of Mexico .

Since the project began, scientists and local foresters from the indigenous Matlatzinca people have planted nearly 1,000 seedlings.

It is expected that the planted sites will receive migrating monarchs in the not too distant future.
