The impacts on wildlife and biodiversity vary depending on the scale you are looking at. At the scale of an individual oil sands mine site the impacts are severe, and companies and government provide limited information about the quality of habitat that is created after mining should reclamation be successful. Individual environmental assessments for projects will describe the loss of wildlife associated with each project. The permanent loss of some habitat types, such as peatlands, will have implications for those species that rely on these habitat types.
