Most species go extinct because of human activity.
In Canada today, loss and degradation of habitat is estimated to be responsible for the endangerment of more than 75 percent of the 364 species on our national Species at Risk list . CNF is working to reverse this decline by educating the public about the plight of Canada's species at risk and pushing for improved laws and programs to protect endangered species and their habitats. As a founding member of the Species at Risk Working Group , CNF joined with other environmental groups and industry representatives to develop and submit a set of joint proposals to government to protect endangered species. Our annual report card tracks the progress of federal, provincial and territorial governments in living up to their commitments under the National Accord for the Protection of Species at Risk. Our campaign for effective federal endangered species legislation enables all Canadians to get involved in helping to protect endangered species.
