Any review or changes to the Endangered Species Act must seek to improve protections for the environment. Short-sighted business practices are a significant contributor to the fact that we have endangered species to being with.

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.
