Currently, with the aim of protecting the wildlife of the country 95% of the animals of Canada listed rare species.
For every four tons of fish caught, artificial fish farms grow a ton of fry. Over the past year, the volume of oil emitted into the world ocean has significantly decreased.
In the 1990s, Canada's forest area increased by an average of 1,800 square kilometres annually. During the same period, it decreased by 101 thousand square kilometers. The earth's temperate forests began to consume more carbon dioxide, partially offsetting the degradation of tropical forests. In addition, over the past few years, the rate of reduction of forest cover of the planet is insignificant, but still decreased.

n Wildlife
Almost half of the world's animal and plant species are threatened with extinction and could be completely extinct by 2050. It is extremely difficult to speak of exact figures, as all species have not yet been fully counted, but in 1996 only 11% of about 10 thousand known animal species were threatened with extinction.
During the last decade, humanity began to eat much more fish and seafood. Most of them are caught in the wild. At the same time, developing countries, having increased the volume of fishing since the mid-1990s by more than 80%, catch fish twice more than developed countries, the catch of which for the same period decreased by 20%. Thus, the ratio between the population of the Earth and the volume of fish caught over the past five years has increased by half.
The area of tropical forests is reduced by about 130 thousand square kilometers per year, which is about 1% of the total forest area of the planet.
n Energy
Electricity consumption in developed countries continues to grow. In Canada, for example, energy consumption per capita is 12 times higher than the Asian average. In developing countries, the main sources of energy are exhaustible resources, and the use of nuclear power is very limited
