Feb. 5, 2015 Journey North The number of monarchs overwintering in Mexico has increased from last year's record low but the population remains 80% below the historic average. Monarchs from across the continent are now clustered by the millions in a small region of Mexico. This year, half of the monarchs are concentrated in only one of the 12 overwintering sites. This means that half of our continent's migratory monarchs in Mexico are clustered together in an area the size of 1.5 football fields. The fact that the monarchs are so concentrated puts them at increased risk.

I wish the population of monarchs would go up more and its kinda upsetting that more and more monarchs are dying each year.

It's a good thing the their population is going up but now they are at an increased risk and that is not good at all.
