“Ambassadors butterflies are arriving at last! Come help carry them!”
“Give the box to me, give it to me, teacher Estelita, I can carry them!”
“I want to carry the flag from Canada! I will carry the one from the USA! I am holding México’s flag!”
“From what places are our Ambassadors coming? From where will we make new friends now?”
“Last year my beautiful Ambassador came from a place where there was lots of snow!”
“Mine showed how real Monarchs come to rest at the edge of huge lakes, waiting for the ideal wind currents to help cross. So smart they are!”
“Mine bore images of how Monarchs breed in the North. No one in my family had any idea how they became butterflies or where they originated. Now I can explain to them about their life cycle (egg, instars, and chrysalis) that occurs in the North and the mission of the Super-Generation that comes to us. My family says they could have never imagined such a miracle!”
“Instructor Estela says all our Ambassadors travel by plane to México! Our friends make us feel very important by making such an effort. Now, while our Ambassadors overwinter in our classrooms, our letters on actions to prevent water pollution to our friends in the North will be packed. They also will travel by plane to reach our friends in Canada and the USA. Wow, can you imagine our letters in boxes boarding a huge plane and traveling such a long way to be delivered to every single class sending an Ambassador to us? Who is doing such huge work?”
“There are so many people loving Monarchs and nature in a way you cannot imagine. They just want to see students across Canada, the USA, and Mexico learn, appreciate, and take action to conserve nature,” Estela responded.
“In the end, we will conserve only what we love. We will love only what we understand. We will understand only what we are taught.” Baba Dioum, Senegalese poet and environmentalist, 1937

“¡Ahí vienen nuestras mariposas Embajadoras al fin, vengan a ayudar!
¡Deme la caja, maestra Estelita, yo me la llevo!”
“¡Yo me llevo la bandera de Canada!; ¡Yo cargo la de Estados Unidos!; ¡Bueno, yo sostengo la de México!”
“¿De donde vendrán ahora nuestras Embaadoras?” “¡De donde haremos nuevos amigos hoy?
“¡El año pasado mi hermosa Embajadora venía de un lugar donde habia mucha nieve!”
“¡La mía mostraba como las Monarcas reales bordean enormes lagos y como ellas esperan corrientes de viento ideales para ayudarse a acelerar su vuelo. Son muy inteligentes!”
“La mía mostraba como las Monarcas se reproducen en el norte; Mamá, Papá, mis abuelitos y mis bisabuelitos no sabían donde nacian; verlas toda su vida y no saber de donde venían! Tampoco mi tatarabuelita lo sabía, dice ella. ¡Soy yo quien ahora puedo explicarles a ellos de las diferentes etapas de desarrollo en el norte y de la misión de nuestra Súper Generación! Ellos insisten en que nunca hubieran imaginado este milagro!”
“¡La maestra Estela dice que nuestras Embajadoras viajan en avión para México! ¡Nuestros amigos nos hacen sentir muy importantes al hacer ese gran esfuerzo! Ahora, mientras nuestras embajadoras hibernan en nuestros salones, nuestras cartas sobre acciones para prevenir la contaminación del agua a nuestros amigos del norte se empacarán y también volarán en avión hasta llegar a nuestros amigos del norte… wooow!, imaginen nuestras cartas en cajas abordando un enorme avión y viajando un largo camino para ser entregadas a cada clase que nos ha enviado nuestras Embajadoras! Quénes hacen ese trabajo titánico?
“¡Hay muchaspersonas que aman a las Monarcas y que aman a la naturaleza de una forma que no lo imaginan; ellos solo quieren ver que sus amigos del norte y ustedes aprenden, se asombran y sonríen mientras aprenden a amar a la naturaleza!”
“There are people loving Monarchs and loving nature in a way you cannot imagine; they just want to see your northern Pals and you learn, get amazed and smile while you learn to love nature” Estela responded.
“AL FINAL, ÚNICAMENTE CONSERVAREMOS AQUELLO QUE AMAMOS, SOLO AMAREMOS AQUELLO QUE COMPRENDAMOS Y SOLO ENTENDEREMOS AQUELLO QUE NOS SEA ENSEÑADO.” BABA DIOUM, POETA SENEGALESA Y AMBIENTALISTA, 1937.
