Guardia Nacional Seizes Illegally Chopped Wood In Monarch Butterfly Sanctuary, Michoacán

By "El Huaso" for Borderland Beat

The Guardia Nacional located and seized about 100 illegally chopped logs in the Monarch Butterfly Biosphere Reserve, State of Michoacán, according to a press release on August 4. Illegal logging is becoming a major criminal market in Mexico, accounting for 1/3 of wood sales in the nation according to authorities.

They discovered the site when patrolling in the town of Zitácuaro, Michoacán. 

The seizure was made by the National Guard in joint effort with the Michoacán State Police, the Environmental Protection Battalion of the National Guard, and the Federal Environmental Prosecutor (PROFEPA by its initials in Spanish). 

Upon locating the site, security forces established a perimeter and looked for the loggers, but were unable to find them.

PROFEPA is holding the logs and will undertake the investigation.


Illegal logging is an increasing problem in Mexico, often exploited by criminal groups who illegally fell trees for sale. The nation has lost about 8% of its forest cover in the last two decades, according to NGO GlobalForestWatch.

In an interview with El Financiero, the director of the National Commission of Forests (CONAFUR), León Jorge Castaños Martínez said “It is a very, very serious problem, which has been growing because there is a deficit of wood from national production".

InSight Crime has reported that CJNG, Los Correa, La Familia Michoacána, and Carteles Unidos are all involved in illegal logging in the state.

    1. You must be a Michoachango Jediondo. What you fail to understand is that a whole community depends on the survival of these butterflies and their habitat. If these Michoachangos manage to destroy this place, (which they probably will given that they turn everything they touch into shit) a whole tourist economy will collapse, which in turn will force the honest people to find another job, migrate to another city, state or country or even worse, join a michoachango cartels and fuck their own people over as michoachangos are known to do do.

Chillas por que no te digo ni te dire de donde soy, Chillas por que no como las pendejadas que comentas tu, lo que yo publico es veredico.... You cry every time I tell you Michoachangos are their own worst enemies. You cry everytime you see me say Michoachangos extort small businesses, avocado, lemon and strawberry farmers, destroy roads, communication services, plant land mines and drop drone bombs because its true. You cry everytime I say michoachangos created fake autodefensas to disguise their criminal activities. How long have I been saying Michoachangos are responsible for the illegal logging of an endangered tree in Michoacan resulting in the decline of the monarch butterfly population. LMAO and here you have it, this very article is the proof...No creas que lloras de risa, lloras de coraje pinche Michoachango ardido jediondo. 🤣🤣🤣🦧🦧🦧🤪🤪🤪

    9. Ya saliste con tus jotadas. I tell you guys, when you Michoachangos can't face the facts you either start with the faggot shit, you assume everyone is a snitchaloan, gilbertona, sinarata or start saying they smoke meth. 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 Soon as I see that, I know I got you pissed off. The funny shit is you bring up Zambadas and Chapos like it's suppose to bother me. I could care less for them people. Only thing I ever comment is on Michoacaca and how Michoachangos turned it into shit with the help of other Michoachangos. Y tu de la nada te molestas. Jajajajaja, Y eso que dices que no eres Michoachango. 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🦧🦧🦧🦧
