<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I got to meet the Monarch Live producers during a

size=3>Register now to participate in the annual migration of the monarch
butterfly (<I>Danaus plexippus</I>), one of the most spectacular natural
phenomena in the world. Every year, millions of monarchs migrate thousands of
miles from Canada and the United States to overwinter in the mountain peaks in
states of Mexico and Michoacán in Mexico. This magical journey, deemed an
"endangered natural phenomenon," is dependent on conservation of habitats in
all three North American countries -- the United States, Canada, and Mexico.
</FONT><BR><FONT size=3>Join in this magical migration with MonarchLIVE and
follow their journey throughout the 2008-09 school year. Take your class on
FREE, live, interactive electronic field trips that follow the magical
migration of monarchs. In February 2009, join us in Mexico where we will talk
with scientists studying monarchs and learn about local people who are
preserving winter habitat. </FONT><BR><FONT color=#ed6623 size=3>Watch and
