M. Isabel Ramirez

Isabel Ramírez is a Senior Researcher at the Center for Research in Environmental Geography (CIGA) of the National Autonomous University of Mexico (UNAM). She has a bachelor’s degree in Geography from the University of Guadalajara and a PhD in Geography from the Complutense University of Madrid (Spain). She completed her training at the Colegio de México (COLMEX) as part of the International LEAD Program (Leadership for Environment and Development).

Throughout her academic training and professional experience, she has worked on various issues that converge or start from land use (Land System Science). She has published papers on landscape ecology, vegetation dynamics and land use, conservation and community management of forests, forest governance and policy, and environmental history. Most of her research work, student training, and collaboration with national and international colleagues focus on environmental conservation and rural development of the monarch butterfly region in Mexico.

She has received several awards, among which the National University Distinction for Young Academics (UNAM 2009), and  the Pollinator Advocate Award for Mexico (NAPPC 2011) stand out. She is a member of the board of directors of the Monarch Butterfly Fund since 2009.

Chip Taylor, Emeritus

Chip Taylor Orley R. “Chip” Taylor, Founder and Director of Monarch Watch; Professor Department of Ecology and Evolutionary Biology, University of Kansas, Lawrence, KS.

Trained as an insect ecologist, Chip Taylor has published papers on species assemblages, hybridization, reproductive biology, population dynamics and plant demographics and pollination. Starting in 1974, Chip Taylor established research sites and directed students studying Neotropical African honey bees (killer bees) in French Guiana, Venezuela, and Mexico. In 1992, as the bee research was coming to an end, Taylor founded Monarch Watch, an outreach program focused on education, research and conservation relative to monarch butterflies. Through the last 18 years Monarch Watch has enlisted the help of volunteers to tag monarchs during the fall migration. This program has produced many new insights into the dynamics of the monarch migration. Four years ago, in recognition that habitats for monarchs are declining at a rate of 6000 acres a day in the United States, Monarch Watch created the Monarch Waystation program. The goal of this program is to inspire the public, schools and others to create habitats for monarch butterflies and to assist Monarch Watch in educating the public about the decline in resources for monarchs, pollinators and all wildlife that share the same habitats.

Chip Taylor, Emeritus

Orley R. “Chip” Taylor, fundador y director del programa Monarch Watch; Profesor del Departamento de Ecología y Biología Evolutiva de la Universidad de Kansas, Lawrence, KS.

Especializado como un ecologista de insectos, Chip Taylor ha publicado artículos sobre conjuntos de especies, la hibridación, la biología reproductiva, la dinámica poblacional y la demografía y la polinización de las plantas. A partir de 1974, Chip Taylor estableció sitios de investigación y asesoró estudiantes con investigación dirigida a las abejas Neotropicales africanas (abejas asesinas) en la Guayana Francesa, Venezuela y México. En 1992, como la investigación sobre la abeja estaba llegando a su fin, Taylor fundó Monarch Watch, un programa de divulgación enfocado en la educación, la investigación y conservación en relación con la mariposa monarca. Durante los últimos 18 años Monarch Watch ha solicitado la ayuda de voluntarios para etiquetar monarcas durante la migración del otoño. Este programa ha producido numerosos avances sobre la dinámica de la migración de la monarca. Hace cuatro años, reconociendo que los hábitats de las monarcas están disminuyendo a un ritmo de 6.000 acres por día en los Estados Unidos, Monarch Watch creó el programa Monarch Waystation (estaciones de paso monarcas). El objetivo de este programa es inspirar al público, las escuelas y otros para crear habitat para la mariposa monarca y ayudar a Monarch Watch en la educación del público acerca de la disminución de los recursos para las monarcas, los polinizadores y de la vida silvestre todos que comparten el mismo hábitat.
