Conservation Science

With over two million lakes and rivers and 20 per cent of the world’s freshwater, Canada has an incredible abundance of aquatic natural resources. Canadians share a deep connection to freshwater. Many of us enjoy swimming, boating, and fishing or simply admiring the scenery of a natural lake or wild river.

Canada is the second largest country in the world; the land area of our country is almost 10 million Km². But what is often forgotten is that our country also includes more than seven million Km² of ocean and more than 200,000 Km of coastline!
