During the recent “Three Amigos” Summit held in Canada, President Obama made the following comment when Mexican President Enrique Peña Nieto talked about the success of monarch conservation: “In closing, we’re determined to keep building on the progress that’s been made at so many previous summits. And by the way, Enrique, I love the story about monarch butterflies. They’re not just any species, they are spectacular. And we want to make sure that our children, our grandchildren can see them as well.” Thanks to a letter sent by the Group of 100 and signed by many of our board members, colleagues, writers and authors the Monarch butterflies were part of the agenda at the summit.
