Mexico Reports Fewer Monarch Butterflies

From Times Staff and Wire Reports

The Mexican government said that 75% fewer Monarch butterflies had appeared at the wintering grounds in the country.

The Mexican government blamed the decline on a number of factors, including an unusually cold summer in the U.S. and a high mortality rate for the butterflies in Mexico in 2003 because of cold, wet conditions.

The report also attributed the decline — although without any supporting evidence — to intensive farming practices in the U.S., including the use of genetically modified crops.
