We must do more to protect…

We must do more to protect wildlife. Governments across the globe using "business reasons" as an excuse to expand development has already resulted in countless species being wiped out. Effective legislation to protect at-risk species must place limits on industrial activity. The primary cause of wildlife decline in our province and elsewhere is habitat loss and environmental destruction. Humans cannot continue to expand their activities everywhere, as most industries are attempting to do, without irreversible consequences to the natural environment. We need to ensure that spaces remain available for wildlife too. Nature works when everything is in harmony, and we've already managed to destroy much of that harmony. We cannot continue down that path.
