Changes to the Endangered Species Act should improve protections, not water them down 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. Clearly defined no-go zones protect wildlife while also creating efficiencies for business by making it clear where development won’t be permitted (no exemptions).
We want protections that lead to recovery for species-at-risk in Ontario – we don’t want changes that will drive more species to extinction.
