As monarchs flutter over Canada and the U.S., Mexico is busy preparing for their arrival at the overwintering sites in the Monarch Butterfly Biosphere Reserve. MBF supported Alternare and six indigenous communities to reforest 28 hectares on 14 sites with 30,000 trees produced in collective nurseries. A total of 640 people including women, men and children participated in the reforestation. This total includes 170 students from four communities that participated in four tree-planting workshops and the reforestation itself. “I am so excited to plant these trees to welcome the wonderful butterflies when they arrive on the Day of the Dead!” exclaimed an eight-year old as she planted a pine seedling.

 Additionally, 14 workshops on cisterns to collect rain water were held with the participation of 190 women and 189 men from three indigenous communities. As a result, these communities now have water available to drink, cook, wash dishes, take care of their personal hygiene, tend their vegetable gardens and many other tasks.

 All this would not be possible without your support. Thank you for being our partners in conservation!!
