Half of Canada’s wildlife are in decline – by a whopping 83 per cent. Provincial governments must be part of the solution.

Changes to the Endangered Species Act should improve protections, not water them down even further.

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.

We must clearly define no-go zones to 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 and are based on the science we have.

Biodiversity is the same as diversity in your investment portfolio. It adds security. Let's add some security to our future.
