Ron Magill, Communications and Media Relations Director for Zoo Miami, recently was fortunate to be able to travel to Michoacán, Mexico to witness the incredible migration of the monarch butterflies. This is something that has fascinated him ever since high school when it was featured on the cover of National Geographic magazine. For many years, no one knew where all of the monarchs east of the Rocky Mountains disappeared to every Fall. Through a series of many images, he will tell the story of the monarch butterflies and why it is so important to understanding the health of our environment.
