A federal report on Caring for Canada's Biodiversity contains updated highlights of Canada's 4th National Report to the Convention on Biological Diversity that was submitted in July 2009. This report includes examples of actions being taken by a broad spectrum of Canadian society including all levels of government, Aboriginal peoples, business, non-government organizations, educational and research institutions and youth.
