Every autumn, around three million Monarch butterflies will travel around 3,000 miles to inhabit the mountains of central Mexico or small groves of trees along Californiaâs coast.
In the summer Monarch habitats are found throughout the USA & Canada, including Vermont. Monarchs migrate to Mexico for Winter. In the last 25 years, illegal logging has destroyed 75% of the winter habitat for the monarch butterfly. The monarch butterfly population is down over 90% in both North America & Mexico due to habitat destruction. Thatâs a loss of over 900 million butterflies since the 1990s.
