The Forest Protects the Monarchs
Outside of the forest, the temperature can rise and fall sharply between day and night. Inside the forest, the temperatures don't change as much. Dr. Lincoln Brower often says the monarch's forest is like a blanket and an umbrella. It protects the monarchs from cold and moisture. If the forest is cut or thinned, he says, monarchs will not have the protection they need.
