reserve. a mexican law protects trees growing in the area. the images show that about four hundred and forty-five hectares have been cleared since 2004. scientists say that, if the clearing continues,

canada and the northeastern united states. the insects fly about eighty kilometers a day. they reach central mexico after about sixty days. no one is sure why the brightly colored orange and black butterflies chose these forests. however, scientists believe the area might offer the right mix of wetness and cool weather to keep the insects alive through the winter.lincoln brower is a professor of biology at sweet briar college in virginia. he has been studying monarch butterflies for fifty-two years. he says they have been migrating along the same path for about ten thousand years. people in mexico have compared the arrival of the butterflies to dark cloud-like formations(阵式)filling the air. the monarchs arrive in such large numbers that they sometimes cover whole trees. mexicos
