What the project does.

Protect Mexico’s Monarch Corridor in the Sierra Madre Oriental mountains

In the last decade alone, Mexico’s Sierra Madre Oriental mountain range has lost more than 88,000 acres of forests. Of the land outside of federal or state-protected areas in the region, more than 85% of the forests have been cleared for agricultural and livestock use. These unsustainable activities are a constant threat to the rich variety of ecosystems within the Sierra Madre.

To prevent any more destruction, our conservation partners are working to safeguard a 1,487,748- acre protected area of the “Monarch Corridor” within this mountain range, so named because critical migratory routes of the Monarch butterfly converge here.
