Sierra Chincua in 1986 was brought into the protected Monarch Butterfly Biosphere Reserve, which is now a Unesco World Heritage Site spanning some 138,000 acres .
“Tourism helps conserve the forest, it’s how we sustain our families,” said Juan Vidal, one of three dozen park rangers who patrol the forest and work as guides.The migratory monarch population has fallen between 22% and 72% over the past decade, according to the International Union for the Conservation of Nature, which declared the species endangered in July.
Last year’s migration, however, offered a glimmer of hope for the monarch’s future. Their presence in Mexico was actually up by more than a third compared to 2020.Luis Martinez, one of the rangers at Sierra Chincua, expects this year to show further improvement. “We have more butterflies this year, more got here because the colony is bigger,” he said.
As the monarchs begin to arrive around Mexico’s Day of the Dead holiday in early November, some locals see the butterflies as the returning souls of ancestors.“It’s so many feelings woven together.”
