I oppose the changes to the Endangered Species Act proposed in the 10th Year Review by the Ministry of Environment, Conservation & Parks. People will be relying on science for the future. Disregarding science and involving people in the COSSARO that are not properly educated or with the right intentions can be detrimental to the future. The ecosystem is quite fragile, and endangered species contribute to this system. The repercussive waves can be enormous and affect Canada environmentally and economically, despite the attractiveness of short term financial gains. Deserting edge of range species is neglecting the entirety of the status of the species, relying on availability heuristic, which is not an accurate measurement of the true population. It is analogous to a doctor observing part of a patient's body and using only the healthy parts to diagnose the person as healthy, turning a blind eye to the unhealthy parts which can fester and overtake the healthy parts. It lacks big picture thinking and education. Decoupling species at risk from protection and allowing a 3 year suspension before mandated protection is also unwise, risky and dangerous. Also, delaying the report of species at risk doesn't permit any time for recovery. Please consider reviewing these changes, and consider what will occur in longevity, and not just for the short term gains. To conclude, I oppose the changes to the Endangered Species Act proposed in the 10 year review.
