Ironically Mexico has done a better job of late protecting their over 
wintering sites--they can't afford to lose even a few more acres at 
this point.
Loss of the host plants all along the migration path can't help-- and  
this fact is sited in any study I've seen investigating the severe 
population decline--- unintended consequence
 of the Roundup ready seeds.
