Many of the statistics presented are revised on a biennial, annual and even quarterly basis. These annual reports provide a statistical picture of Canada's environment with special emphasis on human activity and its relationship to natural systems; air, water, soil, plants and animals.

Data highlights, which are interspersed throughout the Annual Statistics section, briefly describe notable developments in relation to human activity and the environment. Future editions will examine other current environmental issues of concern to Canadians and will provide additional updated data. Data for Human Activity and the Environment come from a variety of sources, including various divisions within Statistics Canada and other federal and provincial government departments.
