According to the most recent Living Planet Report Canada, species that are deemed at-risk of extinction have experienced an average population decline of 59% compared to 1970. [23] Today, there are more than 600 plant and animal species throughout Canada that are listed on the Federal Species at Risk Act. [23]

The Atlantic fishery abruptly collapsed in 1993, following overfishing since the late-1950s, and an earlier partial collapse in the 1970s. [1] It is expected to recover to historical, sustainable levels by 2030. [2] In 1992, Northern Cod populations fell to 1% of historical levels, due in large part to decades of overfishing. [3]
There is some debate over the severity of declining trends in the global mammal and the broader vertebrate population: while the Living Planet Report of the World Wide Fund for Nature reported a 68% decline in the aggregate wild vertebrate populations since 1970, [39] [40] [4] a scientific reanalysis of its data in Nature found that 98.6% of ...
The World Wildlife Fund’s Living Planet Report 2022 found that wildlife populations declined by an average 69% since 1970. [1] [2] [3]The Living Planet Index (LPI) is an indicator of the state of global biological diversity, based on trends in vertebrate populations of species from around the world.
The World Wildlife Fund's Living Planet Report 2024 found that wildlife populations declined by an average 73% since 1970. [32] [33] [34] During the last century, decreases in biodiversity have been increasingly observed. It was estimated in 2007 that up to 30% of all species will be extinct by 2050. [4]
The wildlife of Canada or biodiversity of Canada consist of over 80,000 classified species, [a] and an equal number thought yet to be recognized. [3] Known fauna and flora have been identified from five kingdoms: [ 4 ] protozoa represent approximately 1% of recorded species; chromist (approximately 4); fungis (approximately 16%); plants ...
