In some of the cases, with some species, it will be directly attributable to the loss of forest and wetland habitat adjacent to rivers, and to pollution.

Our wetlands have been reduced by 70 per cent to 80 per cent in some parts of Canada.

It will help break rotation cycles and, provide significant environmental benefits for all Canadians, such as enhanced wildlife habitat, wetlands conservation and improved air and water quality.
