Threatened and Endangered Species In Canada

Written by: Nature Canada

               

 I give this article 4/5 stars because of the explanation it gives on endangered species in Canada. It emphasizes the importance of trying to save different wildlife in Canada, and the programs that are trying to help.  It even shows the reality of Canada and how we are failing at saving important species, and how we can be doing better. 

          

 At the beginning of the article it goes into detail the most recent endangered species. For example the Eastern Wood Pewee, Wood Thrush, the American Badger, and Striped Bass. It includes information of each species, where they are mostly located, their original population, and why their species is declining. Further on in the article it explains how the threats are growing, such as habitation loss, loss of diversity, pollution, logging, etc.  Finally, the end of the article explains Canada’s Endangered Species Program and how we need to start saving species and take better care of our environment.

            In my opinion, I believe this article was well written and informative. It can give people a reality check of what our actions do to the environment, and how we need to take better care of it. It also gives specific examples of the species that we are hurting. The article would get 5/5 stars if the author had given tips for people to try and help save these endangered species.
