Our goal is to raise awareness and increase literacy on biodiversity loss in Canada while emphasizing the need for immediate action. Our planet is currently facing a sixth mass extinction. Scientists have estimated that a number of species are at risk of disappearing 1,000 to 10,000 times their natural extinction rate with nearly 1 million species already threatened with extinction.
