What ELSE do drones and butterflies have in common?

Monarch butterflies rest on a rock at the Sierra Chincua Butterfly Sanctuary near Angangueo in the state of Michoacan, Mexico, on Friday, Jan. 16, 2015. Climate change and increased use of herbicides are threatening the monarch migration as well as eco-tourism in the region

The Monarch butterfly migrates 2,500 miles (4,000 km) across Mexico, the United States, and Canada, but it is now classified as endangered, facing illegal logging in Mexico and excessive herbicides in the central US states.

That's an extraordinary journey that takes 5 months of their nine-month lives, and finding a way to protect that migration between Mexico, the USA, and Canada has become a symbol of cooperation in North America.
