(A)
Every year, hundreds of millions of monarch butterflies from Canada and the United States fly 5,000 kilometers to Michoacan in central Mexico. They arrived at the forest in Michoacan in late October and spent the next five months clustering together in the trees or the ground. The forest are orange and black in those months because of the large number of the butterflies. Sometimes, there are so many of them in a single tree that the tree branches bend or even break.
The forest are now protected by law, and the breathtaking views of the butterflies attract a great many visitors every year.However, the number of monarch butterflies is continuing to reduce mainly due to human activities
Illegal logging（非法采伐）is one of the major threats to monarch butterflies as it destroys their homes. In2015, some people cut down trees in a central area in the forests. They had cleared nine hectares（公顷）of trees before being stopped and taken to the police station. However, they were set free only hours later, though they should have been put in prison for five to eight years according to the law.
Another major threat to the butterflies is the use of herbicides（除草剂）. Herbicides kill the milkweed — a kind of plant. A monarch butterfly grows on it, from an egg to an adult.
The number of monarch butterflies in Mexico has fallen by more than 80 percent over the past 20 years. If we don’t do anything to protect the butterflies, we are likely to lose one of the greatest natural wonders in the near future.
