Participate in the Symbolic Migration Project with Journey North
The annual migration of millions of monarch butterflies across North America is among the world’s most spectacular natural events. Facing declines in both the eastern and western populations of monarchs, countries across North America are cooperating to protect this fragile species.
Through the Symbolic Migration Project, youth can also become active participants in monarch conservation. By participating in this project, educators can access lessons and activities that engage youth in monarch biology and conservation. Youth then decorate paper Symbolic Ambassador Monarch Butterflies that are then mailed and distributed to youth who attend schools near the Monarch Butterfly Biosphere Reserve in central Mexico. These symbolic butterflies build bridges of communication among participants in Mexico, the United States, and Canada. United by the monarch butterfly, youth celebrate and pledge to protect monarchs and their extraordinary migration.
