Canada home to 5 of 10 species at risk from climate change

On The International Union for Conservation of Nature’s (IUCN) list of ten new species that are the likeliest to be hit hard by global warming, Canada has the dubious honor of being home to half of the list. Of the ten species “destined to be hardest hit by climate change,” the leatherback turtle, salmon, beluga whale, ringed seal and Arctic fox were listed and all live in Canada.
