I find the proposed changes to the Endangered Species Act very worrying. Our ecosystems sustain society and the proposed changes will put already vulnerable species under greater threat. The government need to appreciate the immense worth that all species bring to our province, country and world.

Instead of being so regulatory and confining children in a classroom while nesting birds hatch their young and other similar situations why don't you relocate the endangered species to Crown Lands where they are free to roam and free from people. It is best for all.
I am deeply concerned about the proposed changes to the Endangered Species Act. The UN’s recent report on global biodiversity decline make it clear that we need to increase our efforts to protect threatened species and take this problem seriously.

No developer fees can bring back a species! And just because a species exists elsewhere doesn't mean it is isn't an essential part of our ecosystem, and possibly essential to species survival.

A healthy ecosystem is crucial not only for wildlife, but for our own survival. I believe we need to prioritize the recovery of at-risk species over the demands of developers, no exceptions. We need legislation that makes it harder — not easier — for habitat to be destroyed.

There are more than 230 species at risk in Ontario. Habitat loss and degradation are the major drivers of decline. Please strengthen the protections for wildlife, especially those already at risk. Please remove Schedule 5 in its entirety from Bill 108.
I am very concerned by the proposed changes to Ontario's Endangered Species Act. These changes will weaken protections for biological diversity, leading us to pass on an impoverished natural environment to our children and grand children.

This proposal concerns me deeply. As you know - the UN has just released a report explaining that humans are causing a massive extinction event and destroying the planet*s ecosystems. This destruction will not be good for business in the near future.

In Ontario there are already 243 species at risk. The very densely populated Carolinian region of southern Ontario is home to the highest concentration of endangered species in Canada.

I strongly object to the pay to play formulation proposed herein whereby the province proposes to"to allow municipalities or other infrastructure developers the option to pay a charge in lieu of completing certain on-the-ground activities required by the act".

I don't support changes that allow the Minister to suspend protections for endangered species at their discretion, don't support basing species' classifications on their condition outside of Ontario, and don't support allowing developers to pay in lieu of fulfilling on-the-ground compensation requir

I would like to comment on the changes to the Endangered Species Act that have recently been proposed. Each of these four concerns has been carefully weighed and no significance should be placed upon their order.

Dear Sir/Madam,
RE: ERO #013-5033 Review of the Endangered Species Act, 2007

I am extremely disappointed in this Government's short-sighted and regressive approach demonstrated in these amendments. Clearly, this so-called review was never intended to "improve" the Endangered Species Act.
