Wildlife

BuckCanada is home to approximately 70 000 known species of plants and animals - and perhaps many more that have yet to be discovered.

More than 400 species are listed as being at risk of extinction in Canada. The regions with the most endangered or threatened species are those in which humans have had the greatest impact on the environment.

In this section, you will find information on Environment Canada's work in the management of various species of plants and animals, including migratory birds and species at risk.
