"The State of Canada's Birds report is a measurable indicator of how well we are fulfilling our shared responsibility as stewards of our nation's wildlife and wilderness areas. Clearly there is much we can do to ensure we have healthy ecosystems for years to come, and this report provides a path to do so." Ian Davidson, Executive Director, Nature Canada

"The findings of The State of Canada's Birds report clearly demonstrate the immediate need to maintain, and in some areas increase, the diversity of wildlife habitat across Canada. Without habitat, there is no wildlife... it's that simple." L.G. "Len" Ugarenko, President/Président, Wildlife Habitat Canada
