I want to thank Gillian Warltier who is with the Information Office of the UNEP World Conservation Monitoring Centre, Cambridge, United Kingdom. With the kind permission of this wonderful organization I was able to cite information from the Cloud Forest Agenda. Thank you for helping me spread information that seems too magical to be factual, but is. With the help of UNEP-WCMC I was able to describe the lovely trees, plants and animals of the Cloud Forest. And of course the lovely Monarch Butterflies say, "Thanks for being there." M. Catherine Bunton has taught Literature at St. Louis Community College for the past twenty-five years.
