There are also standard searches that have been prepared for you and updated daily. “Biodiversity Reports” provide the current data for popular searches in an easily accessible format.

Data powered by:

NatureServe Canada provides scientific information about Canada’s species and ecosystems to help guide effective conservation action and natural resource management. A part of the international NatureServe network, it is a leading source for reliable information and analysis on the distribution and conservation status of Canada’s plants, animals, and ecological communities. NatureServe Canada works in close partnership with key federal and provincial agencies as well as international and multi-lateral initiatives concerned with environmental protection.

Environment Canada (www.speciesatrisk.ec.gc.ca) and COSEWIC (www.cosewic.gc.ca) are the data authorities for species at risk information and are updated in the Biotcs system as necessary.
