The proposed changes to the ESA will leave Ontario’s species at risk more vulnerable to extirpation and extinction. Allowing industry to influence which species are protected is nonsensical. They don’t have expert knowledge and clearly have a conflict of interest.
Species that have healthy populations elsewhere should still be protected in Ontario. A contraction of a species’ range is still a cause for concern and could contribute to further declines beyond our borders and a loss of part of the genetic diversity of a species.
The proposed changes will impact the natural heritage of Ontario and thereby Ontarians, for the benefit of developers and industry.
