VOA Films Illegal Logging Inside Mexico Monarch Butterfly Sanctuary

Veronica Balderas Iglesias

   MICHOACAN, MEXICO - In the Mexican state of Michoacan this year, the
   suspicious death of a prominent communal leader at the Monarch
   butterfly's World Heritage reserve rocked the conservation world. VOA's
   Veronica Balderas Iglesias went to Michoacan and found that in this
   place of beauty, there was an underside of lawlessness, corruption and
   poverty that could threaten the sustainability of the biosphere.
