Because this change is…

Because this change is taking Ontario down a path that lacks the protections afforded by The Endangered Species Act (ESA) I ask that the government:

1. Withdraw the Species Conservation Act and restore the Endangered Species Act.
2. Reassign all “Special Concern” species to the protected list and maintain provincial oversight for aquatic and migratory bird species.
3. Keep full public transparency and review under the Environmental Bill of Rights.
4. Mandate strong, enforceable standards for habitat protection and recovery planning.
5. Fund real enforcement so that promises on paper translate into protection on the ground.
Ontario can — and must — choose a different path.

A path that honours science, respects Indigenous knowledge, and recognizes that the health of our ecosystems is the foundation of our collective future.
