The
2013-2014 overwintering population numbers for Monarch butterflies in
Mexico were just released yesterday, confirming our bleak predictions
from a few months ago: the situation is worsening.
Last
year’s overwintering numbers were an all-time low, with monarchs
occupying 1.19 hectares. The area occupied by monarchs this year is a
frightening 0.67 hectares—a 44 percent decline in just the past
year.
