Canadian population of at-risk species declined over last 50 years: report | CBC News
A wildlife organization says species that are at risk of global extinction have seen their Canadian populations decline by an average of 42 per cent in the last 50 years. Furthermore, Canadian species at risk nationally have declined by 59 per cent on average during that time period.
The World Wildlife Fund says Canada isn't doing enough to protect its endangered species.
The "Living Planet Report Canada 2020" used 300 sources of data dating back to 1970, and included 100 mammal species, 389 bird species, 357 fish species and 37 species of amphibians and reptiles that are on the International Union of Conservation of Nature's Red Listof species considered to be of global conservation concern.
