Five-year review of progress for 17 species at risk

Description

You can now read about the progress toward protecting and recovering 17 at risk species online.

Species at risk in Ontario

We develop a species-specific policy (government response statement) summarizing our intended actions and priorities on protection and recovery.

Within five years of publishing the government response statement, we review and report on the progress we’ve made.

Learn more about species at risk in Ontario or contact us if you have any questions.

Reviewing progress

In these reports, you will see how we and our partners are helping to protect and recover species at risk, including:

• specific projects that support recovery
• a review of species observations and trends
• a summary of progress and actions towards meeting our recovery goal
