As a resident of Ontario, I want strong protection for species at risk in our province. This means a prioritization on conserving species at risk and their habitats through improved implementation of the Endangered Species Act in its current form.

Habitat loss or degradation has to be stopped or severely limited at once. It 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.

Permits for activities that would harm a species or its habitat must be denied.

Please protect Ontario’s Endangered Species Act! Protect Wildlife! We can not afford delays and exemptions in applying the Ontario Endangered Species Act, which is a critical backstop against extinction.
