Set of 5 50-cent coins

This Arctic butterfly owes its name to the biologist who discovered it in 1916. It fell into oblivion until 1988, when researchers were able to locate it thanks to the biologist's diary.

The 2019 Canadian Wildlife Treasures package is made possible through our collaboration with the Toronto Zoo. From breeding programs to educational activities, Canada's largest zoo fights the extinction of animal species while encouraging Canadians to protect their natural environment - for today and tomorrow.
-Canada is home to some 286 endemic species.
-Many of Canada's endemic species are often overlooked because of their size. This is true of insects such as flies, bees, ants, beetles and grasshoppers, as well as spiders, slugs and snails.
-Some of these invertebrates (i.e. animals without backbones) may not have the charisma of large mammals like bears, but they nevertheless provide ecosystem services essential to life on Earth. Others, like butterflies, have no trouble attracting our attention despite their small size. Automatically translated

Ensemble de 5 pièces de 50 cents

C'est au biologiste qui l'a découvert en 1916, que ce papillon de l'Arctique doit son nom. Il est tombé dans l'oubli jusqu'en 1988, année ou des chercheurs sont parvenus à le localiser grâce au journal du biologiste.

L’ensemble Trésors de la faune canadienne de 2019 est rendu possible grâce à notre collaboration avec le Zoo de Toronto. Allant des programmes de reproduction aux activités éducatives, le plus gros zoo du Canada lutte contre la disparition d’espèces animales tout en encourageant les Canadiens à protéger leur environnement naturel – pour aujourd’hui comme pour demain.
•Le Canada compte environ 286 espèces endémiques.
•Bon nombre des espèces endémiques du Canada sont souvent négligées en raison de leur taille. C’est le cas de différents insectes, comme les mouches, les abeilles, les fourmis, les coléoptères et les sauterelles, ainsi que des araignées, des limaces et des escargots.
•Certains de ces invertébrés (c’est-à-dire des animaux sans colonne vertébrale) n’ont peut-être pas le charisme des gros mammifères comme l’ours, mais ils fournissent néanmoins des services écosystémiques essentiels à la vie sur Terre. D’autres, comme les papillons, n’ont toutefois aucune difficulté à attirer notre attention malgré leur petite taille.
