New report identifies 308 plant and animal species found only in Canada GlobeBusiness

Even more troubling, only one in 10 of the endemic species in the report are deemed to be secure in terms of their conservation status. Most are considered threatened to some degree, but less than 20 per cent have been assessed as part of the process that would lead to a formal listing as a species at risk.

A total of 21 mammals are listed in the report. The largest is the wood bison, which became unique to Canada after having been wiped out in the United States . Others, such as the eastern wolf and Peary caribou, are subspecies that are genetically distinct because they are geographically separated from other populations of the same species.

Other endemics are found in unique landforms that are the inland equivalent of islands, including the Cypress Hills of southern Saskatchewan or the Athabasca sand dunes.
