Canada is home to billions of birds belonging to some 451 regularly occurring native species that raise their young or spend their non-breeding seasons in this vast and varied country. Increasingly, these birds face many threats here and elsewhere. Successful conservation of this biological wealth requires that we manage these threats to maintain or restore healthy populations of all species of birds—including extra measures to ensure recovery of the 66 bird species currently assessed as Endangered, Threatened or of Special Concern. Careful monitoring of the status of Canada’s birds is essential to guide successful conservation and management actions for these and other species. Early response to warning signs in the environment is more cost-effective than critical intervention.
