Canada's wildlife are in a dangerous decline. As an environmental professional who has worked on Environmental Risk Assessments and development proposals, I know first hand that it's far too easy for business to get approval to devastate habitat and further risk endangered species. Biodiversity is essential for ecosystem health and resiliency.
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.
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.
