Canada's birds face more challenges today than ever before. Human activity is drastically affecting the Canadian landscape, and birds must navigate threats like habitat loss, pollution, and climate change. To help birds in Canada, we need to understand how and why their popluations are changing.
The State of Canada's Birds is a partnership between Environment and Climate Change Canada and Birds Canada. It combines the best available data and expert analysis to examine trends and set population goals. This information forms a foundation for sound conservation action to ensure a bright, feathered future.
Experts review all available information, identify how populations are changing, and set goals for species.
A detailed account is created for each species, outlining its population status, distribution, abundance, and goals.
Birds are grouped by how and where they live, and trends for these groups are presented in The State of Canadaâs Birds Report.

Built on Comprehensive Data
The population of some birds of prey, like the Peregrine Falcon, have recovered from historic lows. We can learn from these conservation success stories.

Many grassland birds, like the Chestnut-collared Longspur, have declined steeply and need our help.

Some birds, like the Least Bittern, appear to be holding steady despite being vulnerable to wetland loss. We want to ensure these populations remain healthy.
