Join the Wings of Hope movement and follow the migration of Monarch butterflies
Introducing P2C new campaign "Wings of Hope".
In 2024, more than 20 species of butterflies are listed under the Species at Risk Act (SARA) as "Endangered", "Threatened" or even "Extirpated".
Wings of Hope is a call to come together and support pollinator populations across the country and to bring a message of hope: together we can be the voices of change.
For the 2024 campaign, butterflies are in the spotlight! Discover the incredible migration of monarch butterflies with Dani. This female monarch will make you discover her incredible odyssey and the history and daily life of other species of butterflies who are not all lucky enough to be in the spotlight!
Wings of Hope celebrates those who want to make a difference for pollinators and the Earth! We wish you a good trip!
Meet Dani:
Dani Plexippus is a representative from all the endangered and vulnerable butterfly species in Canada. She is the voice of Hope, while doing her incredible migration from Canada to Mexico, where she will overwinter. Dani is a female and is also a member of the Super Generation of monarch butterfly, that will do the journey in only one generation, travelling for over 5,000 km.
Like most female monarch butterflies, Dani has a wingspan of 8 cm and can be distinguished from males by the two missing black spot on the surface of the hindwings in comparaison to the males of her species.
About Her Journey
At the end of summer, when the day are getting shorter and the temperatures colder, Dani and the other monarch butterflies living in Canada will leave and start their long adventure.
Why not staying in one place? And how do they know when to leave?
