Changes to the Endangered…

Changes to the Endangered Species Act should improve protections, not make it even easier for businesses and industry to do even more harm to critical habitat that support species at risk in Ontario. Clearly defined no-go zones protect wildlife – while creating efficiencies for business by making it clear where development won’t be permitted.

We need protections that lead to recovery for species-at-risk in Ontario– we don’t need changes that will drive more species to extinction. Half of Canada’s wildlife are in decline – by a whopping 83 per cent. Provincial governments must be part of the solution to ensure the ongoing survival of our wildlife.
