Scientists from several countries urged Mexican authorities to immediately halt logging in the Monarch Butterfly Biosphere Reserve and promote the regeneration of the forests that form its habitat, in a published letter in the current edition of the journal Science .
In the letter, the scientists indicated that the monarch butterflies (Danaus plexippus) make one of the most spectacular migrations of the animal kingdom.
They highlighted that this migration is an iconic natural phenomenon with scientific, educational, cultural and socioeconomic value, and that the Oyamel forests in Michoacán, which are essential for harboring the butterflies during their hibernation, were declared . . .
