Fifty years after the startling discovery that monarch butterflies spend winters in the forests of Mexico, photographer and National Geographic Explorer Jaime Rojo reveals this winged wonder of the insect world in new ways with never-before-seen visuals, projected on the 48-foot screen of the Jack Singer Concert Hall stage.  

Through his stunning photography, Jaime Rojo combines his passion for wild nature, conservation and storytelling to create visual communication campaigns that engage the general public on environmental issues. Tag along with him as well as conservationists and citizen scientists who are helping this species avoid catastrophic threats as part of Werklund Centre’s National Geographic Live series.

 “When they take flight, it’s like the whole tree explodes with butterflies." – Jaime Rojo

"...it wasn’t until relatively recently that I started to explore the whole migration route in North America, documenting the natural history of the monarchs, the environmental threats, and the people working to protect it.” – Jaime Rojo

This territory is also the home of the Otipemisiwak Métis Government of the Métis Nation of Alberta, Districts 5 and 6. We thank these Nations for sharing this land with us and commit to being good stewards of this land, while we are here. We welcome all who work, live, and play in, as well as honour and celebrate this historic territory.
