The Monarch Migration Is Tough . . . Sometimes Impossible

All over the world the Monarch Butterfly soars in the air in the warm climate.

When the cold weather comes in the Monarch Butterfly knows it is time to migrate.

The Monarch Butterfly cannot survive in the cold winter. Each autumn millions of Monarch Butterflies travel over 2,900 kilometers from south Canada to places with warm climates such as Mexico.

But last year there was a major decrease in the population of the Monarch Butterflies that migrate to Mexico from the United States and Canada . Approximately twenty-three million Monarch Butterflies did not make it to Mexico in time. There were less than 75% of Monarch Butterflies in Mexico.
