RE: ProtectNatureTO’s Submission - 10th Year Review of Ontario’s Endangered Species Act: Proposed changes - ERO #013-5033

As the world receives an urgent global assessment report from the United Nations on the imminent collapse of the natural world, Ontario is abandoning endangered species. Buried in Bill 108, More Homes More Choice Act, are 20 pages of amendments to the Endangered Species Act.
Ontario is moving to gut the law and rollback protections to expedite housing, forestry, and other commercial and industrial developments at the expense of our ecosystem and all of us.

Improving outcomes for species at risk requires enforcement, not weakening, of the law. It also requires investment in stewardship, not writing off species at risk and their habitats as red tape.

We are urging you to take action to reverse the loss of our natural world beginning with saving the Endangered Species Act. Remove Schedule 5 from Bill 108.
