    • Table 6. Wildlife species assessed and designated Extinct, with range of occurrence (by province, territory or ocean) and date of last assessment. The historical range of occurrence and the approximate date of disappearance are shown (15 wildlife species).
    • Table 7. Wildlife species assessed and designated in a "risk category" (Extirpated, Endangered, Threatened or Special Concern) (724 wildlife species), with range of occurrence (by province, territory or ocean), and date of assessment. For Extirpated wildlife species, the historical range of occurrence and the approximate date of disappearance from Canada are shown.
    • Table 8. Wildlife species assessed by COSEWIC and found to be in the Not at Risk category, with range of occurrence (by province, territory or ocean) and date of last assessment (177 wildlife species). Note that wildlife species in the Not at Risk category will normally only be reassessed if new information suggests that the wildlife species is at risk (Extirpated, Endangered, Threatened or Special Concern), or Extinct.
    • Table 9. Wildlife species considered by COSEWIC and placed in the Data Deficient category because of insufficient scientific information at the time of assessment. The range of occurrence (by province, territory or ocean) and date of last assessment are shown. Note that wildlife species in the Data Deficient category will normally only be reassessed if new information suggests that the wildlife species is at risk (Extirpated, Endangered, Threatened or Special Concern), or Extinct (54 wildlife species).
