Catalina and the Monarch Butterfly
Catalina and ken divorced in the early nineties, and catalina had stayed out of the public eye as the erkharts and kenbrugger became known as the team that cracked the butterfly migration puzzle. She consulted on the docky drama about the monarchs called flight of the butterflies, that came out in 20 12. It's clear to day that because she was the only spanish fluent, mexican born member of the team, it was catalina who really enabled the mission to actually meet its goals. In the last decade, mon numbers have declined between 23 and 72%. So over just four decades, they've gone from thriving to endangered.
Monarch butterflies are still in the middle of their story – and it’s one that is precarious. Humans are still trying to figure out a lot about them, and aspects of the monarch story have been misrepresented over the years.
