We need strong protection…

We need strong protection for Species at Risk in Ontario, which means prioritizing conserving species at risk and the habitats they depend on through improved implementation of the Endangered Species Act in its current form.

Improved communication and transparency in all aspects of species assessment and protection is warranted to provide clarity for the public and business. Habitat loss or degradation is a primary cause for species decline. Automatic protection, combined with clear communication on where impacts can and cannot occur, would protect species while providing certainty of what to expect for economic development.

We need to protect all species at risk. Extinction is permanent.
