"Canada’s biodiversity is in decline. Globally, climate change, urbanization,
overexploitation of resources and habitat loss are combining to drive
biodiversity loss across all ecosystems.

The recent biodiversity assessment of the Americas, from the Intergovernmental
Science-Policy Platform on Biodiversity and Ecosystem Services
, documents
these trends. Domestically, the 2024 State of Canada’s Birds Report points to
falling bird populations over time, while a 2020 World Wildlife Fund report
emphasized similar declines across the full range of plants, animals and other
living organisms in Canada.

Put simply, Canada’s efforts to reverse this decline are not succeeding."
