Mexico hopes to see increase in butterflies

“Environmental officials said Tuesday they are hoping to see as many as 200 million Monarch butterflies migrate to Mexico this year - a nearly tenfold increase over 2004, when unfavorable weather, pollution and deforestation caused a drastic decline in the population.

Last year, less than 23 million butterflies survived long enough to leave habitats in the United States and Canada for sanctuaries in the state of Mexico and Michoacan state, both of which border Mexico City.”
