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.

The environmental species needs reformed, it’s already far too easy for devolpers to build anywhere they want, with little to no concern for the environment. Making it easier would be the most depressing thing this country has seen since Doug Ford was elected.
It is imperative that we continue to afford the protections offered to species that are at currently at risk or are at the potential to become at risk. It is the actions we take right now to restore balance to the natural order that will allow humanity and wildlife to coexist together.

Any change to the endangered species act that puts the interests of business and development above that of the environment is unacceptable! There is no issue as urgent and vital as preserving our wildlife and wild spaces.
As a biologist working in the environmental consulting and engineering sector for the past 6 years, I have had a first hand experience in the implementation of the Ontario Endangered Species Act.

The purpose of the endangered species act is not to be cost effective or business effective. The priority must be the fauna and flora that is at risk even if it is to the detriment of businesses. We cannot put a price on environmental protections.

To say I do not trust businesses and corporations with responsibility for the land and the biodiversity that exists there is an understatement.

Animals have no voice. Over 60% of animal species have gone extinct since 1970. Do the right thing, protect what's left. Our very own survival may depend on it. Yes, it IS that serious.
In regards to Area of Focus 2, I believe that giving public and private notice about the listing of a SAR is detrimental to the species as it encourages developers, businesses, and citizens to carry out any destructive behaviour towards SAR or SAR habitat, such as removing SAR habitat or individual

Review of the act is a wise idea. It is important that the protection of species at risk be placed above what should be the secondary goal of streamlining the development approval process. The implementation should be true to the title " Secies at Risk".
As a conservation biologist, I am very concerned that the proposals set forward in the ESA review discussion paper will not protect Species at Risk.
