Protecting Natural Habitats

Every year, millions of Monarch Butterflies make a 4,000 km journey that takes them from Canada and the United States to their wintering habitat in Mexico's fir forests to hibernate.

How a tiny creature with a wingspan of only four inches can fly at a pace of more than 100 km a day for two months, following a migration pattern that they have never flown before – is one of our world’s most amazing natural phenomenons.
