Endangered animals within Canada is a serious issue that needs to be taken more seriously. Citizens are taking for granted the unique and wonderful types of species they have right at their front door step, not realising that some are heavily under threat.
To help better understand the kind of threat these different kinds of species face, here are some statistics to help you realise the danger they face.
Statistics
As of 2018, a total of 771 species were considered at risk in Canada, including 531 animals.
There are 26 species who are actually identified as endangered or critically endangered in Canada.
Amphibians and reptiles have lost 34% of their populations on average and grassland birds have dropped 69%.

“We need to act before species get identified as endangered, because it’s so hard to turn around populations once they’re deteriorated that far.” – David Miller (CEO of WWF-Canada)
