Protecting biodiversity is becoming increasingly important in an era of climate change. With changes in climate such as climate warming, we are at risk of losing species forever. Biodiversity in Ontario is vital to all people living in Ontario. A love for nature and wildlife is an essential identity for all Canadians, and our commitment to protecting our wildlife and natural areas should be of the utmost importance. If we are to gut the Ontario's Endangered Species Act, then that means we are committed to NOT fighting climate change, something that impacts every living thing on this planet.

Please do not allow for these negative changes such as allowing companies to pay fines rather than being committed to protecting areas, do not remove species off the list because it suits specific organisations personal endeavours, and do not allow unqualified workers to make decisions about species and wildlife of which they have no background. There are plenty of people in this province that care deeply about Ontario's nature and wildlife, and please listen to them, because they are the ones who know best.
