Certainly there is excellent availability of information on these topics that the public service is making use of. I mentioned our project, mission monarch, which is informing recovery efforts for monarch butterflies in Canada.
There are ways in which we can begin to use modern conservation science techniques for decision-making about how to prioritize areas for conservation, but the only way that's going to work effectively is by pulling in data sources of all kinds. As Dr. Gonzalez has quite rightly pointed out, there is far too much Canada for the amount of data that we actually have, which means that some of what we must do will be inferential, using things like remote sensing in the context of a broader and integrated biodiversity observation network.
The tools to inform that process were part of the target one initiative and figure prominently in decision-making. It's our job as scientists to ensure they remain present throughout that process.
