Why Millions Of Monarch Butterflies Fly To Mexico | SLICE WILD

Every autumn, monarch butterflies leave Canada and the northern United States for an extraordinary journey of more than 4,000 kilometres to the mountains of Mexico. Scientists still do not fully understand how these tiny insects navigate to a destination they have never seen before. Along the route, researchers tag butterflies, study their behaviour and work with local communities to protect the forests and milkweed habitats essential to their survival.
