Comment
This proposal is extremely short-sighted and does not respect well documented scientific evidence that species at risk need their habitat protected year-round to ensure that they survive.
See Habitat loss and degradation are the biggest threats to species at risk worldwide.
This proposed change feels as though it it prioritizing land developers over the long term sustainability of our province, the ecosystem, and our planet.
We need to protect green spaces more for the improvement of the climate and the ecosystem.
The good news is that when we have convinced government to take measures to protect critical habitat, we have seen a turnaround in wildlife numbers. That means there is hope, but we need to stay vigilant and keep up the public support for our most vulnerable species.
This proposal is a major step in the wrong direction.
