Canada has its Species at Risk Act as a key tool for protecting hundreds of wild plants and animal species from becoming extinct: https://www.canada.ca/en/environment-climate-change/services/species-risk-education-centre/your-responsibility/your-responsability-guide.html#toc0
Both federal and provincial/territorial jurisdictions are involved in protecting wildlife. The SARA Public Registry provides a list of species provided a level of protection under the Act.
The US has its Endangered Species Act (ESA): https://www.epa.gov/laws-regulations/summary-endangered-species-act
