Your ambassador butterflies shall now start climbing up to much higher lands and colder weather in search of the schools and students living throughout the two main Sanctuaries, Sierra Chincua and El Rosario, and a smaller third one, La Mesa Sanctuary, up to over 10,000 ft elevation, where they find this unique hibernation microclimate our Oyamel trees provide.
This means we will cross the border from Michoacán to the neighboring state of México.
Three new schools have been recently built at La Mesa Community so local students can attend elementary, middle, and high school close to their homes.
“Monarchs arrive on our Day of the Dead festivity as the souls of our beloved dead relatives! They are also Daughters of the Sun coming out of its mouth as vibrant orange flying jewels!” students exclaimed in determined voices as their local ancestral belief.
“So many unknown facts about Monarchs’ migration were brought to the classroom today by Symbolic Monarch Migration that seem incredible to us! This is exactly what we students and teachers are missing so much… to have our children learn much more about the place they are living and will own in the future making decisions as future Ejidatarios and guardians to their lands and forests!” teachers added.
“How do our paper Ambassadors now come to you?” Students asked Estela
Ahhh, you, Ms. Estela, are coming from the United States and Canada bringing these beautiful butterflies with you to deliver to us; that’s how!” They pointed to Estela really sure of themselves they had guessed the way!
“No! Your counterparts at the schools located along the migration route in the United States and Canada pay for their flight ticket and send them by plane! They get their plane ticket to come into México and then to you! It is that important for them to feel connected to you” Estela responded immediately in order to let them see how worth and meaningful the effort is from their northern counterparts.

Sus mariposas embajadoras ahora comienzan a subir a territorio mucho más alto y frío en busca de las escuelas y los estudiantes que viven alrededor de los dos principales Santuarios, Sierra Chincha y El Rosario, y un tercero mucho más pequeño, el Santuario La Mesa, a una altura de hasta más de 3,500 mt snm, donde ellas encuentran este microclima único que los árboles de Oyamel les generan para hibernar.
Esto significa que cruzaremos la línea divisoria entre el Estado de Michoacán hacia nuestro vecino Estado de México.
Tres nuevas escuelas se han construido en la Comunidad de La Mesa, de tal forma que ahora los estudiantes locales pueden asistir a la primaria, secundaria y preparatoria muy cerca de su casa.
“Las Monarcas llegan durante nuestra festividad de Día de Muertos como las Almas de nuestros seres queridos que ya se han ido! También son Las Hijas del Sol de cuya boca se desprenden joyas vibrantes de color naranja!“ Exclamaron los estudiantes en voz de orgullo y convicción de su creencia ancestral.
“Es mucha la información que se nos ha traído acerca de la Migración de las Monarcas a nuestros salones hoy por parte del programa Migración Simbólioca, que suenan increíbles para nosotros! Esto es exactamente lo que nuestros estudiantes y nosotros los maestros necesitamos mucho… que nuestros alumnos aprendan lo más posible acerca del lugar donde viven y del que ellos serán dueños y tomarán decisiones como los futuros guardianes y Ejidatarios de su propia tierra y de su propio bosque!” Añadieron los maestros.
“Cómo llegan nuestras Embajadoras de papel contigo, Estela?” Preguntaron los alumnos
“Usted viene de Estados Unidos o de Canadá y las trae para entregárnoslas!, eso es! Aseverándole graciosamente a Estela seguros de saber ahora cómo!
“No!, sus compañeros del norte de las escuelas localizadas en la ruta migratoria a lo largo de Estados Unidos y Canadá pagan cada boleto de vuelo para enviarlas por avión! Ellas obtienen su boleto de avión para venir a México y luego llegan a ustedes!, así de importante es para ellos hacer una conexión con ustedes!” Estela les respondió inmediatamente para hacerles ver lo importante y significativo que es este esfuerzo para sus amigos Estadounidenses y Canadienses.
