Update Announcement
On June 29, 2018, the Ministry of Environment, Conservation and Parks assumed responsibility for the Endangered Species Act, 2007. The act was formerly the responsibility of the Ministry of Natural Resources and Forestry.
Why consultation isn't required
Recovery strategies prepared under the Endangered Species Act, 2007, are advice to government, therefore public consultation is not required. However, we’re seeking public input to ensure the best scientific information available, including information from traditional ecological knowledge, is considered in finalizing recovery strategies for the species listed below.
Bulletin details
We invite the public and Indigenous communities to provide input on the draft recovery strategies for the following species:
- American Ginseng
- Butler’s Gartersnake
- Eastern Banded Tigersnail
- Golden-eye Lichen (Great Lakes population)
- Gray Fox
- Purple Twayblade
- Small-flowered Lipocarpha
- Transverse Lady Beetle
Please email us to provide information on these species by April 20, 2019. This may include information related to the biology and distribution of a species, its habitat, threats, and/or approaches for protection and recovery.
The recovery strategy authors will consider input received and all other available information in developing the final recovery strategies.
We will publish the final recovery strategies on Ontario’s Species at Risk website and on the Environmental Registry. We will consider recovery strategy advice and other information, in preparing government response statements for these species.
We will provide opportunities to comment on the potential impacts of implementing protection or recovery approaches, as well as areas for consideration in habitat protection, during the development of the government response statements and habitat regulations.
