Unfortunately, this proposed Ontario Forest Sector Strategy does not appear to implement limits on habitat loss to protect and recover species at risk.

I am demanding climate action and real and sustainable change from business-as-usual industrial practices. That means creating a future in which we leave sufficient tracts of forest undisturbed by industrial activities to ensure that animals have the homes they need to survive.

The fact that this industry thinks there is enough forest to double the amount that it logs surely means that there is ample room to protect the forest homes needed by caribou and other at-risk species. It’s time for Ontario to demonstrate its commitment to a sustainable future for all, which starts with a responsible forest sector strategy that includes limits to expansion to ensure wildlife survival.
