The Resilient Migration of Monarch Butterflies

Monarch butterflies embark on a multi-generational migration journey, spanning thousands of miles from Mexico to Canada and back. The migration is threatened by various factors, including climate change, deforestation, and the loss of milkweed plants. To help protect the monarch population, individuals can plant native milkweed and create monarch-friendly gardens. While the decline of monarch butterflies is concerning, they have shown resilience by adapting to different environments and establishing resident populations in places such as Central and South America.
