Here, a Goldilocks combination of temperature and humidity keeps the butterflies healthy until spring. But for decades, legal and illegal loggers have been felling the monarchs’ winter home. In 2006, American Forests teamed up with local partners to restore Michoacán’s forests. Since then, American Forests has planted 1 million trees for the monarchs, including, in 2020, 72,000 more oyamel firs at higher elevation to help the region adapt to a changing climate.
