It is a huge crisis that so many species are disappearing at an increasingly alarming rate as a result of climate change and destruction of vital habitats. If anything, the protection of endangered species should be strengthened, not weakened. Read more

In response to (ERO#013-4143), just a short note. Seems you are thinking more to satisfy developers than to protect endangered species. Money seems to drive most government decisions. They can always build elsewhere, can't replace vulnerable species.. Give your head a shake, think again!

I hope the government is not thinking about scrapping the ESA. We need to support the recovery of at risk species and we need to do immediately. No more destruction of habitats of endangered plants and animals for easier economic development. Just stop. Read more

The Ontario Endangered Species Act needs to be strengthened not weakened. The Carolinian tract in Ontario houses more at risk species than anywhere else in Canada. Ontario should continue to increase protections before it is too late. Read more

Despite the Government's reassuring words, it feels to me like this "effectiveness on environmental protections" does not consider what is best for the environment, and will be mostly based on deregulation. Remember - there is no economy (good or bad) without the environment. Read more

There are various objectives stated in the review - some are not compatible. In those instances it is imperative that what is controlled is human activity, especially when it comes to 'business propositions/economic development'. Read more

Do not water down the legislation to allow developers to put more endangered species at risk. These species will never come back once gone. Stop development in its tracks to protect all species which are more important than human encroachment.

As a constituent of the Ontario government, I take issue with the suggestions in this review. The Endangered Species Act was created for the purpose of protecting the threatened, endangered, or otherwise at risk wildlife of Ontario. Read more

Please do not reduce or eliminate the ESA (Endangered Species ACT). As I’m sure has been demonstrated through research, extinction of species has a negative impact on the environment, which if destroyed will have negative results on the economy and human health. Thank you.
