There are 3 major crisis…

There are 3 major crisis today - land degradation, the loss of biodiversity, and climate change. In Ontario we have a responsibility to protect flora and fauna in that wild - and it has never been so important. Having a strong Endangered Species Act is essential. There must be no caveats, permits or permissions for developers and industry to exchange money for wildlife habitat. Industry must not have a seat at the decisions table for listing or assessing wildlife.

Any changes to the Act should strengthen protections for flora and fauna and their habitat. There must be no changes that further put nature at risk and provide a hand up to developers and industry. We need more money in conservation...but not in exchange for wildlife and wildlife habitat. That is a loosing and downward spiraling cycle.
