<p>All from Sierra Chincua (Chincua Mountain) where millions of monarch butterflies spend the winter. This is one of five wintering roosts for monarchs, where the cool mountain climate slows their metabolism enough for them to overwinter before migrating back northward in the spring. The closest town is Angangueo. Logging threatens this spectacle--Already one of the five sites is no longer used by the butterflies due to the forest being cleared. Although some 56,000 hectares has been set aside, and even though this is a world heritage site, the logging continues. A second threat comes from the lack of habitat in the U.S. when the animals move northward. Without plenty of milkweed plants, they can't continue their life cyle.</p>
