During the winter months, millions of gorgeous monarch butterflies travel thousands of miles to the forests of Mexico to retreat from freezing temperatures and conserve energy for their trip back north in the spring. Recently, the forests the butterflies depend on have been clear-cut, leaving less space for them to thrive. The nonprofit Forests for Monarchs is trying to change that -- it has replanted more than 5 million trees since 2010. You can help by planting 50 trees (for $25.00) or 100 trees (for $50.00) by visiting forestsformonarchs.org.
