Public support coupled with the benefits of national protection for species at risk is a recipe for federal leadership. The Liberal government has received more post-cards, petitions and letters on this issue than on any other environmental issue. The Canadian Endangered Species Coalition is working to voice the concern of Canadians about the worsening plight of our species at risk. The collective voice of our member and supporting groups totals several million Canadians. Our nation has already lost 23 species and there are 268 more at risk.
Every day is another stress on unprotected species at risk.
Extinction is too high a price to pay for political temerity. The information on which this report card is based was distributed in advance to all jurisdictions for comment and clarification. The Canadian Endangered Species Coalition wishes to express our heartfelt thanks to the Richard Ivey Foundation for their on-going support. Go to the Canadian Endangered Species Coalition home page.
