  Canadian National Vegetation Classification

NatureServe Canada is working with the Canadian Forest Service, the Parks Canada Agency, and other partners to develop the first phase of a Canadian National Vegetation Classification, covering forest ecosystems. The national classification will be consistent with the NatureServe-led International Vegetation Classification and will draw upon the various provincial-level classifications already developed by CDCs. Additional information about the project is available here.

  Canadian Species Report

NatureServe Canada published a new species assessment report, Our Home and Native Land: Canadian Species of Global Conservation Concern, in September 2005. The report examines 5,685 native species, including plants and the best-known groups of animals and finds that 362, or 6.4%, are of global conservation concern. 68 of these species are endemic to Canada, meaning they are found in no other country. For more information on the report, visit the newsroom or download the report.
