Movie Night! Butterflies on the Brink: The Story of the Mottled Duskywing

Butterflies on the Brink: The Story of the Mottled Duskywing is a triumphant tale of a groups quest to secure the future of an endangered butterfly!

The film follows the research and recovery team, including Integrative Biology Professor Dr. Ryan Norris and his team, biologist Jessica Linton, the Cambridge Butterfly Conservatory and Wildlife Preservation Canada, over three years. The project represents the first time a butterfly has ever been successfully reintroduced into Ontario, and, since their reintroduction in 2021, the butterflies are showing signs of recovery.

Enjoy a heartfelt story and get a behind the scenes look with biologist Jessica Linton, November 8th, during our annual dinner!

Jessica will provide an overview of the work the Ontario Butterfly Species at Risk Recovery Team has been doing since the filming of "Butterflies on the Brink: the story of the mottled duskywing". This will inlcude an update on the mottled duskywing reintroduction program at Pinery Provincial Park, a new reintroduction program in Norfolk County, and other projects and species the team is focusing efforts on, inlcuding the reintroductions of Frosted Elfin back to Canada after is extirpation in the late 1980s.
