Gomez Gonzalez has worked tirelessly to save the forests that are the wintering grounds of the Monarch Butterfly. He has even lead tree planting to restore more of the forest. Opposing him are loggers who want to cut down the trees and destroy the ecosystem.
He has been missing and now his body has been found dead.

It hasn't been proven yet that his death is suspicious, but activists have been under threat. He was one of the most outspoken and the most eloquent. This has consequences for the whole future of the monarch butterflies. Will environmental activists be able to protect the forests without him?
In the mean time, he is missed by many. If the monarch butterflies have survived and increased in numbers he is one of the reasons why. His death is tragic, but the millions of monarch butterflies tell us it was not for nothing.
