The sanctuaries of the monarch are considered amongde dwx the four xwww w wdwwsxxqxdxdqxdxdwwdddexrecognized by the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) as a World Heritage Site in national soil, however, this region enters the list fpwq sz.    fwcxss. Wdxgfxother natural places that require a conservation perspective. They are places around the world that the IUCN considers that face different potential threats affecting these sites as invasive species or impact of tourism, so it calls for taking measures so urgent and large scale so that the loss of value is prevented. This book along with the Mexican National Park Everglades US and Biosphere Reserve Rio Platano in Honduras are the only three places in America that are in This list, which includes several more places like parks Republic of Congo, the tropical forest of Sumatra in Indonesia and Reserves within the African continent.

The information presented by IUCN explains that 21% of natural World Heritage sites have a " Good "conservation perspective, 42% is classified as a perspective" Good with some concern "and 8% of sites are worth situation" Review ". Among the various values ​​provided by these sites is that biodiversity is which faces the greatest threat levels. But not all sites are facing serious threats listed in the list of endangered sites, including the Biosphere Reserve monarch in Mexico, which IUCN qualifies as a "unique role to protect monarch butterflies during the winter is threatened by deforestation and agricultural activities. "The report shows that 54% of the evaluated sites are well managed, while expressing serious concerns about the quality of the management of 13%.

Effective management is often the key to ensure good conservation perspective despite the serious threats facing sites. The Monarch Butterfly Reserve is where quotas reach this species after making a voyage of more than 4 thousand miles from Canada to Mexico. The place is known for hosting a forest ecosystem with fir vegetation and where they find refuge million copies of this species belonging to the "royalty". The butterfly sanctuary covers 70 percent the territory of Michoacan and the rest is mexiquense ground.

The places annually receive tourists when they are open to the general public so they can admire the arrival and stay for almost four months of these insects. The habitat of the Reserve is characterized by three thousand meters above sea level, because it is one of the world's regions in winter provide them with special conditions for life as cool temperature, clouds and fog and trees that protect the hail and snow. The affected area could lead to the latest results of the monarch butterfly : last year they lost at least 33 million butterflies, so that the minimum was recorded as not even one hectare of forest covered According to a report issued by the World Wide Fund for Nature (WWF, for its acronym. in English), the amount of monarch butterflies hibernate reaching Mexico suffered a fall of 43.7 percent this year, which is "alarming" for the conservation of this species.

The WWF said that although illegal logging and extreme weather, loss of milkweed plantations in the United States contributed to this dramatic decline and this is mainly due to large-scale use of herbicides. Photo: Cuartoscuro / Archive One of these herbicides Roundup PowerMAX name agricultural product is a herbicide produced by Monsanto that offers a "powerful" consistent weed control.. Although there is also the milkweed in Mexico, with which they feed, in addition to that failure to do so would cause an ecological imbalance in the forests of pines and firs of Michoacan and Mexico State. The Monarch first established in spruce for®\{®est or fir;¥}{{}{{\;ωrestricted distribution, protectedω from wind, wet slopes or canyons located between 2.400 and 3.600 meters of altitude. Over the months, colonies are slowly moving towards pine-oak forests, generally less dense.

Among the suggestions t@77emits the same booking when the sanctuaries4¥⊙open their doors, which is usually every 22 November, is to leave garbage, respect the rules and not ;€}£<<£¢them alive or d"3'42"##1ead.

Anyone can create an account and add any co mments you want to include a picture, video or sound file, the exact location of the sighting, latitudes and longitudes, if there was one or more of them, the correct time, the state of development (caterpillar, pupa or adult) and the activity carried out the insect. Other sites with a prospect evaluated as "Good "include the iconic Swiss Alps Jungfrau-Aletsch, National Park" "55"$#4#q Volcanoes Arenal and N amib.

Fire ecology manipulation by California native cultures

Before the colonial era, 100,000s of people lived on the land now called California, and many of their cultures manipulated fire to control the availability of plants they used for food, fuel, tools, and ritual. Contemporary tribes continue to use fire to maintain desired habitat and natural resources. View the Original article

Monarch Butterflies – Their 1800 mile flight to freedom

Education Articles | June 11, 2006 The fall migration of Monarch butterflies is one of those fascinating natural mysteries to which human beings still do not have any answers. For centuries, the black and orange Monarchs have been great winter attractions in the Californian and Mexican regions. However, no one had any clue to this huge influx of Monarch butterflies in these regions. The fall migration of Monarch butterflies is one of those fascinating natural mysteries to which human beings still do not have any answers. For centuries, the black and orange Monarchs have been great winter attractions in the Californian and Mexican regions. However, no one had any clue to this huge influx of Monarch butterflies in these regions. In 1937, part of this mystery was unfolded through the attempts of a researcher named F. A. Urquhart; he began putting wing tags on the butterflies in order to track their origins and whereabouts. His endeavors bore results and it was brought to light that the ...

Butterflies' evolutionary responses to warmer temperatures may compromise their ability to adapt to future climate change

Members of the brown argus butterfly species that moved north in response to recent climate change have evolved a narrower diet dependent on wild Geranium plants, researchers report. However, butterflies that did not move north have more diverse diets, including plants such as Rockrose that are abundant in southern parts of the UK. View the Original article
