Each spring, tens of millions of monarch butterflies depart the mountain sanctuaries of central Mexico and begin a northward passage that no single butterfly will live to complete — a multi-generational relay stretching across a continent, encoded in the bodies of creatures who have never made the journey before. This ancient biological rhythm, refined over millennia, now unfolds under the shadow of habitat loss and a shifting climate, making each departure both a marvel of natural precision and a quiet measure of how much the living world has yet to lose.
