THE EXTRACTION OF NATURAL RESOURCES
MINERALS
Minerals are being extracted, or taken out, from the Canadian Shield
The mining of minerals causes toxic waste to get into the ground and habitat loss
The Inuit people who live there are also losing land due to mining
RIVERS AND TREES
Rivers in the Canadian Shield produce hydroelectricity Energy generated by
falling water Hydroelectricity causes
erosion, flooding and habitat loss
The cutting of trees in the Canadian Shield leads to flooding of the region
