Second Mexican Butterfly Conservationist Killed
-----------------------------------------------

In Mexico, a second man linked to a monarch butterfly sanctuary in
Michoacán has been assassinated. Raúl Hernández Romero's death comes
just days after another slain conservationist's body was recovered.
Authorities are investigating the deaths and whether the men were
targeted for their environmental activism. Friends and family of leading
monarch conservationist Homero Gómez González, whose body was found last
week, attended his funeral Friday.
