As a resident of Ontario, I’m deeply concerned about the decline of bird species across our province. Birds are such an important part of our natural heritage and ecosystems — their songs, migrations, and presence remind us that healthy environments still exist here. Read more

Please keep these at-risk bird species under provincial as well as federal protection. We have lost so many of our birds already - North America has lost 30% of our birds since 1970, according to Cornell. Please keep them on the at-risk list. Read more

Please consider our influence on species other than our own. We share this province with the flora and fauna that is irreplaceable. I care about wildlife and wild places, I'm not sure why we can't have the interests of economy AND the environment?

Protecting at-risk birds is essential because biodiversity is essential and it is our responsibility to care for the ecosystems we’ve been graced with in this country. Please make significant investments in programs to protect and recover Ontario’s birds and their habitats. Read more

This proposal takes most of the responsibility toward preserving & protecting our at-risk bird populations away from the government and puts it on ordinary citizens through "voluntary" reporting. This is outrageous and highly problematic. Read more

I want the government of Ontario to protect our birds and animals! This is vital to me as a nature-lover and a birdwatcher. I really do not like any of Bill 5's contents. I hope the government scraps it.

Protecting at-risk birds matters to me because the birds themselves matter. They have an intrinsic worth. Their survival should not be shoved aside for anthropogenic reasons. Our economy should be strong, yes, but not at the risk of another species. Read more

It is not some secret that creatures need a large habitat, not just their dwelling places to survive. Canada has already lost 40% of our entomofauna. These policies are destroying our environment and our future. You have no right to take our wildlife away from us. Without it, we won't survive.

The protection of natural habitats and the species that live there are vital for the health of our planet, our communities and our collective human spirit. Any government that does not protect our precious wildlife and environment cannot claim to care for Canadians.
