Changes to the Endangered…

Changes to the Endangered Species Act should improve protections, not water them down even further.
The review should address exemptions that make it too easy for business and industry to do 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.
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. The Ontario government should strive to be be part of the solution.
