The Monarch Route is the name if the organization in Mexico. This is pretty cool…
A program designed to promote the safe and healthy migration of monarch butterflies as they traverse Mexico each year has planted 67 gardens where the insects can rest and feed. Plants intended for the butterflies are planted alongside vegetables, and are being cared for by farming families.
The program’s goal is to have 158 gardens in place in 10 municipalities in both México state and Michoacán by next year. In addition to the gardens, The Monarch Route has also partnered with the Santa Fe, Mexico City, campus of the Monterrey Institute of Technology to develop a smartphone application to record butterfly sightings.
