Butterflies on the Brink

Waterloo Region Nature is partnering with Princess Cinemas in Uptown Waterloo for the screening of Butterflies on the Brink, filmed in Ontario.

Showing October 19 and 23, Butterflies on the BrinkButterflies on the Brink is the gripping tale of a rare butterfly species’ fight for survival on the edge of extinction. The Mottled Duskywing butterfly, found only in a handful of habitats in Ontario, is vanishing at an alarming rate.

Witness the inspiring efforts of a dedicated recovery team as they work tirelessly to bring this species back to its former range. Through painstaking research and groundwork, they are determined to reintroduce these butterflies and, in doing so, accomplish a momentous achievement in butterfly conservation in Canada. However, their ultimate triumph depends not only on their own efforts but also on the butterflies’ ability to withstand the ever-changing climate, invasive species, environmental degradation, and unforeseen challenges that lie ahead.
