gclef"Each year, hundreds of millions of monarch butterflies over several generations find their way to the high mountains of central Mexico. There, they overwinter by clinging to the branches of the sacred fir tree Abies religiosa in massive blankets of fluttering orange and black."
"This migration miracle is threatened as global warming in the coming decades pushes temperatures too high for the forests of this revered tree to survive, even at the summits of the mountains where they now grow. But a recent experiment suggests this rare habitat might survive, if humans help the trees make a journey of their own."
