U.S., Mexico and Canada To Protect Threatened Monarch Butterflies and Porpoises
June 28, 2007 — By Associated Press

MEXICO CITY -- The U.S., Mexico and Canada agreed to work together to protect the monarch butterfly, threatened in Mexico by illegal logging destroying its winter nesting grounds.

Meeting in the central Mexican state of Michoacan, where millions of butterflies spend the winter months, the three-nation Commission for Environmental Cooperation, or CEC, formally pledged Wednesday to support conservation initiatives for the monarch, according to a commission statement.

The statement did not offer details on the initiatives.

The monarch butterfly is not listed as endangered, but scientists say deforestation could threaten its existence.

The monarchs' annual 3,400-mile journey from the forests of eastern Canada and parts of the United States to the central Mexican mountains is considered an aesthetic and scientific wonder.
