This is a significant step backwards for conservation in Ontario. The change would end provincial legal habitat protection for endangered and threatened birds as the proposed new Species Conservation Act will only provide protection for the “dwelling place” or nest. Legal protection for Habitat conservation is essential and not achieved through voluntary measures. Habitat conservation is the cornerstone of protecting at risk species.
