COSEWIC (Committee on the Status of Endangered Wildlife in Canada)

COSEWIC, the Committee on the Status of Endangered Wildlife in Canada, is a group of experts that evaluates the conservation status of Canadian wildlife species. They assess whether species are at risk of extinction or decline and assign categories such as endangered, threatened, or special concern. Their findings help inform government decisions and conservation efforts to protect Canada's biodiversity. COSEWIC’s assessments are based on scientific data and aim to ensure sustainable management and preservation of Canada's wildlife for future generations.
