Thank you for the opportunity to comment on the discussion paper on the
Endangered Species Act (ESA). This document represents the official position of
the Ottawa Field Naturalists’ Club. The world is currently facing a biodiversity

We need to strengthen laws to protect endangered species. We must not weaken these laws nor allow construction or business in areas where we have at risk animals and plants.
the list is the most important factor in controlling and recording important studies not only the animal but the chemistry and transfer of diseases that share with the world health organization.

Hi:
It's time that Species at Risk are valued. Plants and animals were here long
before humans and they deserve a place to live too.
It appears that the government is more considered with economics and business

Thank you for the opportunity to comment on the ESA review discussion paper. Though I support the stated intent to provide more stringent protections for species at risk, the proposals being considered will not accomplish that goal.

There are many problems with the ESA and it is important that they are addressed and that changes made to it are not just to open "barriers to economic development" without a primary objective of protecting Ontario's biodiversity!

I am firmly in support of taking measures to protect endangered species. Humans should not be the agents of doom for other species on our planet.
The objectives listed for this review of the endangered species act are very clearly at odds with each other.

As Conservation Director I would like to share concerns on behalf of members of Waterloo Region Nature regarding the ESA Review (ERO #013-4143). This is the Endangered Species Act, not the Endangered Business Act. The priority must be on protecting and recovering species at risk.

For species that may be Provincially 'at risk': At the minimum, only species that are at risk federally, in adjacent provinces, territories and the United States of America and/or its states bordering Ontario should be included on the Province's list of Species at Risk.

I disagree with this proposal on the grounds that barriers are required to curb expansion. Barriers will ensure habitats are maintained and wildlife can exists. Without barriers wildlife will die off and there would be no need for an ESA.

For the benefit of Ontarians, Ontario should strengthen the species at risk act. I believe more investment in monitoring of plant and animal communities is important for having up to date information on the status of wild populations.

As the 10 year review of the Endangered Species Act in Ontario approaches, it provides an opportunity to fill in any gaps that were missing or improve the current policies in place. Specifically, I will be focusing on Area of Focus 3: Species Recovery Policies and Habitat Regulations.

Hello,
I am a 4th year undergraduate student at the university of Toronto and I wanted to comment on these proposed changes. Although not an expert I appreciate the opportunity to comment on the proposal.

I believe that a complete rethink into the environment and economic development is in order. I beleive that if we limit the destruction of the environment completely we will find more solutions.

The economy is strong enough. DO NOT weaken existing protection for biodiversity and for species at risk - we need better protection and less exemption!
