    There are 38 species of mammals that live in Fundy National Park, including some that are endangered like Atlantic salmon, Eastern cougar, and brook trout. The Species at Risk Act was created to prevent endangered species from going extinct and to help in their recovery through plans like breeding Atlantic salmon in facilities and reintroducing them to Fundy each year. Programs like Adopt a River allow volunteers to help monitor water quality and insects to contribute to protecting wildlife in the park and raise awareness of species at risk.

    The Species at Risk Act (SARA) is a federal law with three main goals to prevent
    endangered or threatened species from becoming extinct, to help in the recovery of endangered species, and to manage species of special concern to help prevent them from
    becoming endangered or threatened.
    The Government of Canada specially selects the list of SARA and then focuses on
    reaching their goals to stop the extinctions by creating specific recovery plans for the animals. For example, Fundy researchers are doing there best to increase the population of
    the Atlantic salmon by bringing the salmon to breeding facilities at the Mactaquac Biodiversity Facility then introducing new salmon to Fundy each year.
