I oppose putting economic growth ahead of species protection. Scientific findings shouldn’t be politically vetoed. Evidence-based conservation needs to be protected.
Do not narrow the definition of ‘habitat,’ recovery depends on future restoration zones and bring back mandatory recovery plans! Species need long-term strategies should be the main focus, not short-term fixes.
Reinstate the Advisory Committee. We need oversight, not silence. Reverse the exclusion of aquatic species & migratory birds! They deserve provincial protection too and contribute to a healthy and secure ecosystem. Biodiversity is of great importance in Ontario. Stop the exemption of permits from public comment. Transparency is non-negotiable.
