      Canada is the only country that has actually tracked their numbers in detail and has a recorded 75% loss in the last 25 years.

      Everywhere else is estimating a 30% loss, but they can’t provide studies backing up that limited loss.

      Hard to get international numbers, but in Canada they’re listed as “at risk” with a 75% drop in numbers in the last 25 years.

          Look at their exchange with me, they gave up because they realized it was getting ridiculous but just came back to argue with you a second time to try and have one place where they had the last word.
