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.
