The Monarch Joint Venture is excited to partner with Anthony Battah and his team for the Ultra-Trail Monarch campaign.
About the Ultra-Trail Monarch
Ultra-distance runner Anthony Battah has achieved an awe-inspiring feat, completing his journey following the monarch migration on foot from Canada to Mexico!
Anthony's remarkable voyage is not just about personal achievement; it's a passionate commitment to raising awareness and important funds for the monarch butterfly migration. Not only did he run an incredible distance, but along the way, he drew attention to the monarch migration through interviews, webinars, and conversations with locals. Anthony truly is an inspiration!
The MJV extends our greatest congratulations to Anthony and his incredible team for successfully conquering the Ultra-Trail Monarch!
There's still time to make a difference! Donate to the Ultra-Trail Monarch campaign and help support the monarch migration. Every contribution counts!
Call to Action
The Ultra-Trail Monarch project encourages the following citizen actions:
1. Create monarch habitats along the entire migration corridor by planting milkweed and other nectar-rich flowers; and
2. Raise $4.5 million, or one dollar per meter Anthony will run, to help serious organizations dedicated to protecting the monarch and biodiversity.
Let's Seed the Way
Throughout his "migratory" ultramarathon – from Canada to Mexico - Anthony will plant milkweed and nectar-rich flowers to create "aid stations" for future generations of monarchs. He hopes to initiate a North American movement to create habitats for monarch butterflies. The movement is already underway, with many schools and cities committed to supporting the cause.
