CHARLOTTETOWN — A new wildlife report shows 23 species have possibly disappeared from Prince Edward Island, though they may still exist elsewhere.

The province’s 2020 State of Wildlife report says there is little if anything that can be done to change their status, particularly for species such as lynx and woodland caribou.

A total of 5,641 species were assessed for the report, which is produced once every decade.
