Ana Moreno, Macheros, Donato Guerra, State of Mexico, Mexico

Anayeli “Ana” Moreno is unusual in the village of Macheros, whose handful of college graduates all studied elementary school education. Ms. Moreno was the first to major in tourism instead, assiduously applying herself to learning English as part of her curriculum. In the male-dominated business of butterfly guiding on Cerro Pelón, she became its first female guide, paving the way for other women to start working at our entry. Please read more about Ms.

Dear friends,  

The end of the overwintering season is imminent. Increasing temperatures over the weekend could accelerate monarchs’ departure. 

SIERRA CHINCUA: More visitors come to this sanctuary due to its facilities and pristine surroundings. 

 

Dear Journey North community,

According to newly released data, the population of monarch butterflies in Mexico wintering sites decreased by 26 percent. On February 25, 2021, the World Wildlife Fund-Telmex Telcel Foundation Alliance, in collaboration with the National Commission of Protected Natural Areas (CONANP) and the National Autonomous University of Mexico (UNAM), released data from the winter 2020–21 monarch butterfly population counts.
