Research is an essential part of wildlife conservation. Canada is a vast country with a multitude of different species of mammals, birds, reptiles, amphibians, and insects. Scientists can't possibly keep track of each and every wildlife population, and it takes a huge amount of time and effort to gather all the information needed to protect them.
