This morning i read about the monarch butterflies. I had read about where they came from, their process of migration and hibernation. The monarch butterflies migrate when the winter comes to go through a sort of hibernation. Millions of monarch butterflies have made the 2000+ mile migration to thier overwintering sites in the forested mountains of central mexico. But the percentage has went up. 75 percent fewer butterflies here in san diego this year. The numbers are dropping.
I didnt HATE the article that i read. I just thought that it was kind of boring. But i did learn something new. I didn't know that butterflies can hibernate?!
Today two articles were handed to me both on the extinction of two species one directly linked to human beings and the other not directly linked. The first article was on the loss Monarch butterfly population it went into detail the number on the how the number of Monarch Butterfly have declined more this year than any other. One reason they gave is the loss of there environment the trees in which they live in to shelter them from the cold during there state of hibernation are being cut down because of illegal logging. Mexico which is where the butterfly are found is trying to take action against the illegal logging by instituting a zero tolerance policy. It is not rare to see a bug species bounce back from extinction so it is likely that this will turn out all right. In the seconded article it showed a larger species brought close to extinction not by direct human effect but a rising disease in amphibians. The disease prevents them from respiration from their skin scientist estimate that there has been a large decline. In both cases the species are nearing the end but with help with the help of the San Diego zoo they have more of a chance. The San Diego Zoo is passing out cards to better inform of the state of the monarch butterfly and hopefully generate more money to save these insects, it is also taken several frog species and helping them in captivity.
The most interesting fact is that we are causing quick extinction of species but we are also trying to preserve them showing both sides of the human influence.
These are two great things that the park is doing and such preservation should be done. These are all positive steps and are keeping the world of today for those of tomorrow.
Education: Stories from the Field
San Diego Zoo has supported monarch butterfly conservations. They have made delivered over a 100 of cards to the guides of the monarch butterfly in Mexico. The cards are to help guides about the information of the monarch butterfly biology. Each card contains consistent messages about the biology and conservation of butterflies. The government in Mexico has no tolerance for those who stay illegally at the Monarch Butterfly Biosphere Reserved in Mexico. Staying over in the reservation can increase extinction in the butterfly migration. So therefore, the San Diego Zoo has now given support to the community. One interesting fact about this passage, that I read, millions of butterflies made 2,000+ mile migration to their habitats in forested mountains of central Mexico.

♥ A World Without Frogs
♥ Frogs are at serious risk of extinction and scientists around the world, including here at the San Diego Zoo- are trying to prevent it. Since the 1980’s, global amphibian declines have been noted and studied. These global amphibian declines have not just been mild, scientists have documented dramatic drops and even mass localized extinctions of entire species. Scientists believe that over a third of the world’s amphibians are threatened. Also, more than 120 species of frogs have become extinct since the 1980’s. Many of these have taken place in Australia, central America, South America, and the United States. The San Diego Zoo is contributing to the health of frog populations by maintaining a successful breeding of some of the most rare and endangered species.
♥ “Aww, a world without frogs…” Frogs are not that great, let ‘em die. Just Kidding, but yes, I never knew that frogs were endangered but I guess this assignment served it’s purpose and taught me something new.

-Education: stories from the field
-The aricle that was read today was about monarch butterflies. It says that the san diego zoo continues to support monarch butterfly conservation in a variety of ways. They have delivered over 100 guide cards to the monarch butterfly region of mexico. This helps deliver clear and consistent messages to the approximately 300000 people. It says that mexicos government recently announced a new zoo tolerance campaign. This campaign is to stop illegal logging in mexicos monarch butterfly biosphere reserve. It states that the 2000 mile+ migration was 75 percent fewer butterflies.
-I think that this article is dreary. I am really not interested in butterflies. I know that this might be something important but I prefer just letting others worry about it. I don’t see how this affects me
-One interesting thing that I learned is that there was a 75% decrease in the migration.

A world without frogs?
This second article that I read was about frogs. It says that scientist around the world are trying to prevent it. Since the 1980s global amphibian declines have been noted and studied. They have noted dramatic drops and even mass localized extinctions of entire species. In fact scientist believe that over a third of the worlds amphibians are threatened. There are a number of reasons for this habitat destruction, pet trade, climate change, introduced species, pollution and disease.
I think the same about this article. I am not interested in frogs either. For me all this stuff is pretty boring.
One interesting thing that I learned is that more than 120 species have become extinct.
Monarch Butterfly Update.
Monarch butterflies are being conserved in the San Diego Zoo. They make many cards in English and Spanish to give to tourists, teachers, and many others as guides of information about the Monarch butterfly and how to keep its enviornment protected. About 300,000 people travel just to see all the Monarch butterflies. Stopping illegal logging is critical to protecting the monarch butterfly migration. Butterflies migrate to mexico to their overwintering sites. 75% less butterflies have been migrating. This years population is the lowest recorded.
A World without Frogs?
Scientists at the Zoological Society of San Diego have noticed a dramatic drop on the amount of global amphibians. Scientists believe that over a third of the world's amphibian species are threatened. Extinction is on its way. Most of the extinction is due to habitat distruction. Since the 1980's more than 120 species have gone extinct.
It is so sad how natural habitats are being ruined. But it is also not that bad, because many people need places to live. There is an increase among the humans being born everyday. So it isn't that bad to let a human live and let some things die.
EDUCATION: STORIES FROM THE FIELD
----Monarch Butterfly Update----
The San Diego Zoo continues to support monarch butterfly conservation in many ways. Last winter, the Zoo delivered 100 guide cards to the monarch region in Mexico. The cards were written in Spanish for guides, teachers, and tourists who would like to know more about the monarch’s environment. Millions of these butterflies have migrated over 2,000 miles to central Mexico for their forested mountains. The monarch’s had huge die-offs and now they are flourishing back to normal. The Zoo continues to work with our surrounding borders to help reduce logging in the forest regions. It is also that the monarch butterfly catches the imagination of schoolchildren and scientists. Pleasant farmers own these lands and are also helping.
I like what these people stand for. It’s good to live a life caring for things. These people shape the future of our wildlife.
===================================
----A World without Frogs?----
Scientists around the world are hard at work trying to prevent frogs from going extinct. Since the 1980s, the amphibian race has declined. Scientists have noted dramatic drops and even mass localized extinctions of entire species. Many have taken place in Australia, Central America, South America, and the U.S. Habit destruction, pet trade, climate change, and pollution have been reasons of these declines. Chytrid has been one of the diseases found in the African clawed frog. These animals are victims to the problems with pollution that happen because their life process is on land and water. The San Diego Zoo is contributing to the health of frog populations by maintaining a successful breeding program.
I agree with this article because the Zoo doesn’t just work with the frogs. It works in breeding animals from all species. This job is good because you get the satisfaction of helping animals for their wellbeing.
===================================
The article was about the monarch butterfly’s, and how the San Diego Zoo is helping them out. The San Diego zoo is helping the butterfly’s by making and giving out these guide cards to community guides in the monarch butterfly region in Mexico. The cards help guides deliver clear and consistent messages about monarch butterfly biology and conservation. These messages are delivered to approximately 300,000 people that travel to see these butterfly’s yearly.
The most interesting fact about this article was the number of people that go see the butterfly’s each year.
I liked this article because it was interesting. It was interesting because it was kind of cool that the zoo is helping out with this. I also liked it because butterfly’s are pretty cool.
This morning we read two articles. The first article was a bout monarch butterflies. The San Diego Zoo delivered 100 guide cards this past winter. The cards help guides at butterfly sanctuaries deliver a clear and constant message about monarch butterflies. The cards are written in Spanish and they compact important information about the monarchs and defending their winter homes. Millions of monarchs make a 2,000+ mile migration to the forested mountains of central Mexico. There are 75% fewer butterflies then previous years. the San Diego Zoo continues to work to help reduce illegal logging. The article relates to science because the butterflies migrate and if there continues to be illegal logging, they could become extinct . The most interesting fact I thought was that around 300,000 people travel to see the butterflies each year. The second article was about frogs. Since the 1980s, more than 120 amphibian species have become extinct. There are a number of reasons for the declines. These include habitat destruction, the pet trade, climate change, introduced species, pollution and disease. Since amphibians usually have a life cycle that includes an aquatic and terrestrial phase, they are vulnerable to changes environmental changes on land and in the water. Some scientists believe that declines in in population of amphibians show that other animals and plants in the area will eventually be at risk.

♥ Monarch Butterfly
♥ The San Diego Zoo is supporting monarch butterfly conservation in many different ways. The zoo delivered over 100 guide cards to community guides in the monarch butterfly region of Mexico. The monarchs. These guide cards will help communities to improve their public tours while delivering messages that inspire tourists, the majority of whomare Mexican, to support and tak action for monarch butterfly conservation.
