Comment
Any review or changes to the Endangered Species Act must seek to improve protections for the environment. Short-sighted business practices are a significant contributor to the fact that we have endangered species to being with. 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.
