Why are candian geese protected?

Canadian geese are protected primarily due to their ecological significance and conservation status. As a migratory species, they play a crucial role in maintaining the health of wetlands and grasslands by contributing to nutrient cycling. Additionally, hunting regulations and protective laws, such as the Migratory Bird Treaty Act, help ensure their populations remain stable, as they faced significant declines in the past due to habitat loss and overhunting. Protecting them helps preserve biodiversity and supports the ecosystems they inhabit.
