Paying to destroy and avoid responsibility for our species and its habitat is jeopardizing our own community. It is comparable to paying to get away with murder.

I am writing to express my concerns about the changes to Ontario’s Endangered Species Act. Ontario is the most densely populated province with the highest concentration of endangered species. If there is any province that needs evidence-based decision making it would be Ontario.

We need to protect our endangered species at all cost. Developers should not be allowed to pay to disregard regulations surrounding endangered species protection.

We must protect our wildlife resources. Our biodiversity makes Canada wealthy, beautiful and resilient. In light of recent research, scientists believe many more birds, insects, and other species are threatened than are officially recognized as such.

Please do not go down in history as the government that knowingly chose to let developers trash endangered species for the sake of a few extra dollars.
Please stand for something you -- and your grandchildren -- can actually be proud of and remove schedule 5 entirely from Bill 108.
Thank you!
I think the proposed changes are absolutely disgusting at such time of widespread environmental devastation. It would never be acceptable but it is less so than ever. To show such disregard for the health of our ecosystems should, in fact, be a criminal offence.

A few things. First, Ontario is Ontario; protected species within our borders should have the same protection wherever they are in the province. Not only that but with current and projected climate changes we should be working to protect more species, not less.

Currently, the ESA requires that the Minister consult with an independent expert prior to creating regulations that would jeopardize the survival of a species, or issuing permits for harmful activities that would provide a significant social or economic benefit to Ontario.

1) Landscape Approaches
Where recovery approaches for individual species conflict with one another, a landscape-level approach can be effective in some cases as a compliment, but certainly not as a replacement.

Hello, I am writing to express my extreme disappointment with the proposed changes to the Endangered Species Act. I feel that it is irresponsible to broaden COSSARO membership to include those with only community knowledge.

Protecting endangered species is critical in order to support biodiversity which impacts food webs, food security and ultimately human health. It is irresponsible to allow development to happen in areas that destroy habitat for species at risk. It is our duty to protect these plants and animals.
Economic development at the expense of biodiversity will have a negative effect on all Ontarians. The proposed changes to this legislation will allow developers and politicians to make decisions without the opinion of species-at-risk experts to all of our detriment.
