Yes, we are talking about a decline. As I said at the outset, the upper St. Lawrence Plain is the area with the most biodiversity, but also with the most species at risk, given the variety of threats affecting it. I think that less than 3% of the area is protected, because it is highly developed. In the Haut-Saint-Laurent RCM, for example, there are more than 70 endangered species. In that regard, things are not improving.
