Please DO NOT remove any…

Please DO NOT remove any existing protections for endangered species! Businesses come and go, but once a species is extinct there is no bringing it back. Biodiversity is crucial to maintaining balanced ecosystems already ravaged by the changes created by the worsening climate (man made changes).
Please search for other avenues to make Ontario "open for business". Removing protections is a short-sighted decision with permanent consequences. Please engage experts in wildlife biology and conservation on this topic and listen to their advice!
The idea of removing or decreasing protections for endangered species is sufficiently extreme and horrifying that when I first saw the newspaper article about it I thought it had to be a satire.
I beg you to reconsider.
