The country’s population in 2016 was just over 36 million. It is an ethnically diverse country and the latest statistics in 2016 show that 22.3 % of the current population are from minority groups. There are 1.7 million Native Americans living in Canada, 4.9% of Canada’s total population.

The Canadian government has legislated to protect the country’s wildlife, which has been encroached on over decades, as it is home to many ecologically diverse marine and animal life eco-systems, including the Tundra, the Rocky Mountains and several coastal marine eco-systems.
