EnviroStats
Each issue of EnviroStats consists of a short non-technical article on topics that feature statistics from environment surveys and administrative data.
Wildfire experiences among Indigenous Peoples
This article presents data on Indigenous Peoples' experiences of wildfires, including short-term and long-term impacts, along with spatial data on wildfires and air quality from 2023. The analysis integrates results from the 2024 Survey Series on First Nations People, Métis and Inuit - Emergency Preparedness and Extreme Weather with 2021 Census Indigenous population data, alongside spatial data on wildfires, forest fires and air quality from 2023. This analytical article uses maps, charts and tables to show findings, including burned-area estimates and air quality index values, to provide a comprehensive overview of wildfire experiences among Indigenous populations in Canada.
Ecosystem spotlight—oceans
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 estimates of selected ecosystem services, such as commercially harvested wild fish and seafood, nature-based tourism, and blue carbon sequestration. It also marks the release of experimental monetary valuations of these ecosystem services.
