Canadian Diversity
With a total area of almost 10,000,000 sq km, Canada is the second largest country in the world, but it has the world's longest coastline, 202,080 km. A young and relatively undeveloped nation, Canada has preserved vast tracts of wilderness parkland to protect natural heritage habitats and species. Parks exist across Canada - in the eastern shields, plains and east coast Atlantic maritime; the central Mixedwood plains, Boreal forests, prairie and tundra plains; the frozen Arctic; and the western mountains, glaciers and western coast Pacific maritime. Great Canadian Parks introduces you to the many protected species and their diverse wilderness homes. Some parks are located close to urban centres, while many are remote. The pages on this site explore the many parks' great range of ecology, history and culture.
