Monarch Butterfly

• Fact: It takes multiple generations to complete its round trip migration
• Location: North America (including Central Mexico), South America, Caribbean, Australia, New Zealand, Pacific Islands, Mauritius, the Canary Islands, and western Europe
• Global Warming Impacts: Eastern U.S. populations are vulnerable to wetter winters in central Mexico; hotter, drier climates to the north are driving the monarch’s eastern breeding range northward
• Status: The IUCN has designated the monarch migration a “threatened phenomenon”
