Nature’s Most Extraordinary Stories
The natural world’s marvels are revealed when you look a little closer.
Every day, the planet showcases extraordinary natural wonders that often go unnoticed. Vann R. Newkirk II, a senior editor at The Atlantic, recently journeyed to Mexico to witness the annual migration of millions of monarch butterflies. The butterflies travel thousands of miles, and although their migration remains largely a mystery, it is particularly remarkable that it continues despite decades of population decline.
Recently, there are signs that the monarch population is beginning to recover, thanks to years of dedicated conservation efforts across North America. This story highlights the planet's ability to both inspire and teach us about nature's resilience.
