- Articles and reports: 16-002-X202600100001Description: This article presents data on the extent and condition of Canada’s ocean and coastal ecosystems, as well as the ecosystem services—also known as “nature’s contributions to people”—they provide. Building on earlier pilot accounts, this article offers new physical and monetary estimates of ocean ecosystem services. It also marks the release of experimental monetary valuations of selected ocean ecosystem services, such as commercially harvested wild fish and seafood, nature-based tourism, and blue carbon sequestration.Release date: 2026-01-21
- Articles and reports: 16-001-M2025003Description: This technical paper provides an ecosystem accounting framework to assess Canada’s urban ecosystems and the ecosystem services they supply. The ecosystem accounts for large urban areas will measure ecosystem extent, condition and services following the internationally accepted environmental accounting standard. The technical paper will guide the development of urban accounts as part of the Census of Environment and will be used to engage with stakeholders about needs, methods, and uses of new data.Release date: 2025-07-14
- 3. What does nature provide to Canadians? ArchivedStats in brief: 11-627-M2024018Description: This infographic explores ecosystem services, which provide many benefits to society. The infographic provides a visual representation of the three main types of ecosystem services – provisioning services, regulating and maintenance services and cultural services.Release date: 2024-04-11
- Articles and reports: 16-002-X202100100002Description: Urban greenness reflects the presence and health of vegetation in urban areas and is a measure of urban ecosystem condition. This study uses data from satellite imagery to track greenness across population centres for three reference years over an 18-year period.Release date: 2021-08-17
- Articles and reports: 16-002-X202100100001Description: This article provides estimates of the economic contribution of marine sectors in Canada in 2014 to 2018 and describes some of the environmental challenges faced by these sectors.Release date: 2021-07-19
- Articles and reports: 16-201-X2018001Description: Forests in Canada tells the story of Canada's forests, providing up-to-date statistics on forest area, forest products and ecosystem services, economic and social contributions of the forest sector and forest management activities and environmental impacts.Release date: 2018-03-14
- Articles and reports: 16-201-X201600014361Geography: Census metropolitan area, Census metropolitan area partDescription: The article "The changing landscape of Canadian metropolitan areas" provides an analysis of land cover and land use change in Canada's largest cities. It focuses on the change in built-up area, arable land and natural and semi-natural land in and around CMAs from 1971 to 2011. The report includes CMA-specific geographical profiles that include tables, charts and maps as well as links to a wealth of other relevant information.
The June 2016 update includes the addition of spatial data files (ArcGIS®, file extension: .shp) for each CMA that can be downloaded from the HTML version of the publication.
Release date: 2016-03-22 - 8. Measuring ecosystem goods and services in Canada ArchivedArticles and reports: 16-201-X201300011875Description:
The article "Measuring ecosystem goods and services in Canada" presents preliminary results achieved through a two-year interdepartmental project to develop experimental ecosystem accounts and the required statistical infrastructure. It provides an overview of ecosystem accounting and valuation and presents several measures of the quantity and quality of ecosystems and ecosystem goods and services (EGS). These measures focus on land cover, human landscape modification, ecosystem potential of the boreal forest, biomass extraction, marine and coastal EGS, and wetland EGS. The report also includes a case study on the Thousand Islands National Park exploring monetary valuation of EGS and concludes with a research agenda for future work on this topic.
