Hope 2014 is better for you Linda! I saw that article, too and posted it on my Facebook. I worry about a country where in the future Monarchs are only found in pockets in FL, CA, TX, etc. It would be such a shame to lose something as wonderful as their migration. I'm not much of a traveler, but I do think it would be magical to go to Mexico and see where they spend their winter. Plus, I think it's important to support the Monarch economy so they don't turn to other money-making endeavors like illegal logging! But I like that the article addressed how the Monarchs are helping the economy and people are being paid to reforest their habitat while at the same time maintaining a separate forest they can use to sell wood for energy purposes.
