Picture This: Paper
Butterflies Bringing Goodwill
If each little paper ambassador
carried a portion of MBSF funds, how much
would each carry?
16¢ contribution
on their journey south!
Thanks

| Small
is Beautiful |
Each
year more and more of our paper butterflies arrive and
show us that small is beautiful. Not only does a tiny butterfly
migrate more economically to Mexico, but they also symbolize
the kind of conservation concepts that are good for the
Earth.
|
 |
Consider
creative ways to make your butterflies smaller next
year, too! |

|
| Life
in the Monarch Butterfly Sanctuary Region of Mexico |
We
have a sampling of stories and pictures to share of
people who live in the monarch sanctuary region. Recorded
in both Spanish and English, these stories portray
the personal side of monarch conservation, as seen
through the eyes of the children and families who live
in the region. |
 |
While
these people are some of the poorest in our hemisphere,
much of the responsibility for monarch conservation falls
on their shoulders. >>
