Every year Monarch butterflies partake in a journey to fly south. Unlike other butterflies, Monarchs cannot survive the winters in northern climates and must seek warmer climates. 

Researchers have found that the number of monarchs migrating has plummeted in recent years. This could be due to the many threats facing these butterflies including habitat loss, pesticides, and climate change.
