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

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.
