How Students are Helping Monarchs in Mexico | |||||||||||
Students' contributions have helped protect the Monarch Butterfly Sanctuaries in Mexico in many ways. Saving the sanctuaries is a challenge because the people who live there depend on the forest for survival too, just like the monarchs. The Monarch Butterfly Sanctuary Foundation (MBSF) is helping to protect and conserve the lands the monarchs need for winter survival. All student donations support the MBSF's important work. | |||||||||||
As part of the 2008/2009 Symbolic Migration, 510 classrooms sent almost $10,000 for monarch conservation in Mexico through the Monarch Butterfly Sanctuary Foundation (MBSF). These three conservation stories are about work that the children's donations supported. The first project is scientific research. The other two projects help the people who live beside the monarch sanctuaries find new ways to live and work so they don't need to cut the trees in the monarch's forest. |
