Dear OIntario government,
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. Clearly defined no-go zones 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– we don’t need changes that will drive more species to extinction.
Half of Canada’s wildlife are in decline – by a whopping 83 per cent. Provincial governments must be part of the solution. Ontario species-at-risk habitat shouldn’t be open for business!
Thank you.
