The Ontario Endangered…

The Ontario Endangered Species Act should focus on protecting species and their habitats, not streamline economic development or services. We need to protect and manage our natural resources for the future in the present. If we manage our resources only for the present or short term gains, we are simply EXPLOITING our natural resources, leaving a ravaged environment for generations to follow. I implore you to think about the health of the environment we live in, rather than raping and pillaging our environment to line the pockets of people who will not be around long enough to see the negative effects their selfish acts have caused on future generations. Biodiversity, including the species and the habitats that the Endangered Species Act is supposed to protect, is what keeps our waters clean, pollinators abundant to provide fresh food, and the clean air we breath. Please, consider the environment we live in and the environment we want our children, grandchildren and great grandchildren to live in.
