This edition is a testament to the arrival in our Monarch Butterfly garden to reproduce in its extraordinary and long migration from Canada to its Winter Sanctuary on Mexican lands. "Every year they arrive in Mexico after a very long trip of more than 4000 kilometers of flight from the distant and cold Canadian territories looking for a more benign climate. Monarch butterflies land to spend the winter in our oyamel, pine, oak and cedar forests mainly in Michoacán, in the State of Mexico and now some butterfly colonies are also registered in Jalisco, specifically inGuadalajara." --translated from Page 11.
