EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the breathtaking beauty of a Monarch butterfly amidst the enchanting oyamel firs forest in Temascaltepec, Mexico. Taken on November 12,2015, this image showcases the remarkable phenomenon where Monarch butterflies expand their occupied forest area during hibernation in Mexico. Thanks to concerted efforts by the three North American governments to mitigate threats faced by these magnificent creatures during their migration from Canada, Monarch butterflies have nearly quadrupled their presence in this sacred sanctuary. The actions taken reflect a commitment to preserving and protecting this species. The vibrant orange and black wings of the Monarch butterfly stand out against the lush green backdrop of Abies religiosa trees. This visual spectacle is a testament to nature's resilience and its ability to thrive when given proper care and attention. As we gaze upon this photograph, we are reminded of our collective responsibility as stewards of our planet. It serves as a poignant reminder that through international collaboration and conservation efforts, we can make a significant impact on safeguarding endangered species like the Monarch butterfly. This AFP photo by Omar Torres encapsulates both awe-inspiring natural beauty and hope for future generations. Let it inspire us all to take action towards creating a world where wildlife flourishes alongside humanity.
