The winter terminus of the incredible migration of Monarch Butterflies is an area of forested hilltops in the Mexican state of Michoacan.
Homero Gomez Gonzales was a logger in that area, who realized that without a sanctuary for the Monarch Butterflies, logging would soon destroy their habitat.
Gomez Gonzales preserved an area, the Santuario El Rosario Ocampo Michoacán,and for a few years he promoted tourism rather than logging.
On January 13 Gomez Gonzales went missing. Now his body has been recovered from a well near the sanctuary.
