The Committee on the Status of Canada's Endangered Wildlife was established to provide independent advice to the Minister of the Environment on the status of endangered species. This committee was part of the National Parks Subdivision, which also included the first Federal Advisory Board on Wildlife Protection and the Wildlife Division. The Scott Islands National Marine Wildlife Area was the first National Marine Wildlife Area created under Canada's Wildlife Act. In the 1960s, these wildlife vignettes were a pioneering effort to use television to raise awareness about wildlife conservation.
The Wildlife Act allows for the establishment and management of national wildlife areas to protect the habitat of migratory birds, endangered species and other wild animals. Environment Canada's Canadian Wildlife Service is an associate member organization of NatureServe Canada. The Endangered Species Act was passed to help prevent the disappearance of wildlife species in Canada, ensure the recovery of wildlife species that are extirpated, endangered, or threatened as a result of human activity, and manage species of special interest to prevent them from becoming endangered or threatened. The Canadian Wildlife Service became its own branch within the Department of the Environment in recognition of the department's growing responsibilities to protect nature.
This initiative was a pioneering effort to conserve wildlife in Canada by launching fundamental research in support of wildlife management, introducing a land acquisition process for a system of national wildlife areas and a national wetland preservation program focused on prairies. The Wildlife Area Regulations were modernized to better protect the priority habitats required for the conservation of migratory birds, endangered species and other wild animals in Canada. Data visualization has enabled Canadian Heritage to make evidence-based decisions that ultimately support the goal of improving outcomes for Canadians. The Canadian Wildlife Act was passed, which allows for the creation, management and protection of national wildlife areas.
This act was amended to include all terrestrial species of flora and fauna and all species found within 200 nautical miles of the Canadian coast and constituted the first parliamentary authority for the creation of marine protected areas in Canada. The Canadian Wildlife Service and NatureReserve Canada Network have collaborated and coordinated in recent years to increase efforts in favor of the general statute program. Inquiries help us understand how Canada can boost innovation, prepare Canadians and companies for the future of work, and ensure that Canadians have confidence in how their data is used. With support from Canada's Council of Wildlife Ministers, the Endangered Wildlife Recovery (RENEW) initiative was launched as a means of informing the public about progress made in protecting endangered species.
Data has become an invaluable tool for informing decisions related to wildlife conservation in Canada.

Additionally, inquiries have been conducted to understand how Canada can boost innovation, prepare Canadians and companies for the future of work, and ensure that Canadians have confidence in how their data is used. The Committee on the Status of Canada's Endangered Wildlife has been instrumental in providing independent advice to the Minister of Environment on endangered species status. The Scott Islands National Marine Wildlife Area was established as part of this effort, while initiatives such as RENEW have been launched as a means of informing public about progress made in protecting endangered species.
