    Canada has had fewer species go extinct since 1844 compared to Australia, with 109 species vanishing in Canada but being preserved elsewhere, while Australia has lost over 100 native species and likely more invertebrates. Canada also protects more of its total land area (12.1%) compared to Australia (over 19%). However, Australia has lost a larger percentage of its native forests like rainforests due to deforestation.

    VS.
    AUSTRALIA
    Protection Efforts

    Quantity of Extinct Animals


    CANADA AUSTRALIA
    Since 1844, 109 species in About 100 native Australian
    Canada have vanished, but species have been listed as
    continue to exist in other extinct by the government,
    countries. Six, native only to but officials say the real
    Canada, have been lost and are number is likely to be more
    presumed extinct. than 10 times that once
    extinct invertebrates were
    counted.

    Quantity of Protected Space


    CANADA AUSTRALIA
    At the end of 2019, 12.1% of Over 19% of Australia's
    Canada's terrestrial area was landmass is protected in the
    conserved. National Reserve System and
    is made up of over 12,000
    protected areas.

    Quantity of Deforestation
    CANADA AUSTRALIA
    At 0.02% of its forested area, Australia has lost 27% of
    deforestation in Canada is their rainforest, 19% of open
    among the world's lowest forest, 11% of woodland
    forest and 28% of mallee
    forest

    When comparing Canada and Australia, Canada seems to be


    much more sucessful in supporting the environment,
    especially when considering extinction in each country.
    Canada still definitely needs to improve, though in this
    comparison it seems to have a positive impact on the
    ecosystems and land in the country
