Changes to the Endangered Species Act should improve protections, not water them down even further.
Regardless of whether Ontario is open for business or not, wildlife, water, the air we breathe should not be considered commodities. The species that are at risk right now in Ontario are part of an interconnected ecosystem that sustains the balance required for life in this province. This review won’t help species at risk if it doesn’t address exemptions that make it too easy for business and industry to do even more harm to critical habitat. Clearly defined no-go zones protect wildlife – while creating efficiencies for business by making it clear where development won’t be permitted.
We need protections that lead to recovery for species-at-risk in Ontario– we don’t need changes that will drive more species to extinction.
