From what I’ve read of the proposed new environmental protective act, it’ll do a bad job of preventing species loss.
Conservation, indigenous and science-led strategies are the way forward. The new bill would have them take a back seat to industry.
We’re in a climate crisis. Leave the lungs of the earth in tact! Please.
“The Ontario government is using the trade war as cover for its war on species.” said Laura Bowman, Staff Lawyer at Ecojustice. “There is no evidence that sacrificing our biodiversity, and running roughshod over our most precious and vulnerable natural assets will benefit Ontarians. The only thing that has been ‘unleashed’ with this bill is an irrational vendetta against vulnerable ecosystems, plants, and animals.”
