Symbolic Butterflies are Tagged at the Monarch Sanctuaries by Visitors Setting up the Exhibit at the Sierra Chincua Sanctuary (Viewing Tips)   Greeting from Senor La Cruz of Ejido Cerro Prieto   When tourists visit the sanctuaries on weekends they find a beautiful exhibit at the entrance, and Symbolic Monarchs to greet them. A banner reads “Migracion Simbolica: Uniendo a los ninos de norteamerica” (Symbolic Migration: Uniting the Children of North America), and the flags of Mexico, Canada and the United States wave proudly. Tourists are invited to “tag” a symbolic butterfly. On the back of the tag, they write their own address. When these Symbolic Monarchs come back in the spring spring, you may receive one that was tagged by a tourist. The Cerro Prieto ejido owns land at the entrance to the Sierra Chincua Sanctuary. Members gave Journey North permission to set up our exhibit at this beautiful place, and they made the wooden stand just for us. When the butterflies came out of the boxes the people crowded around to see. Everybody wanted to tag a butterfly and they were touched by the letters sent from Canada and the United States. In the second clip, Senor la Cruz says they are very happy to have the Symbolic Butterflies and that they will take good care of them. Copyright 2003-2004 Journey North. All Rights Reserved.
