Changes to the Endangered…

Changes to the Endangered Species Act should improve protections, not water them down even further.

This review won’t help species at risk if it doesn’t address exemptions that make it too easy for business and industry to do even more harm to critical habitat. Clearly defined no-go zones protect wildlife – while creating efficiencies for business by making it clear where development won’t be permitted.
There won’t be any businesses to be made more efficient if we continue to endanger the species in our environment, as well as the environment itself.

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.
