But despite their delicate beauty, these creatures are warriors. The moment they hatch, they're fighting for their lives. Everything is the enemy: from the very leaf they live on to the humans and animals around them to nature itself. How does such a tiny egg survive to become a butterfly? And even after emerging from the cocoon, unimaginable danger awaits: migration.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eEvery year, monarchs take flight, making one of the greatest migrations in the world. However, for a long time, their destination was unknown within the scientific community.

But to do so would involve years of searching across three countries and encounters with feuding scientists, the consequences of colonialism, and life-and-death stakes. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWeaving together the untold story of survival, scientific discoveries, and the relationship between humans and butterflies, \u003ci\u003eThe Monarch Effect\u003c\/i\u003e explores how one small insect can have an incredible impact on the entire planet.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eDana L.
