Bulletin details

Species at risk in Ontario

Our government is committed to conserving the province's rich biodiversity by protecting and recovering species at risk and their habitats.

Each year, in alignment with requirements in the Endangered Species Act, 2007, the ministry develops species-specific policies (government response statements) for endangered or threatened species at risk which summarize government-led or supported actions and priorities for their protection and recovery.

Within the time specified in the species’ government response statement (GRS), or not later than five years after the GRS is published if no time is specified, we review and report on the progress we’ve made.

2023 progress reports

The 2023 Review of Progress highlights recent activities led and supported by the province towards the protection and recovery of 11 species at risk.

These progress reports were developed as either single-species reports or multi-species reports for species that share similar characteristics and government response statement actions, such as Massasauga (Carolinian population) and Massasauga (Great Lakes – St. Lawrence population).

These are the 10 reports for 11 species:

  1. Blue Ash
  2. Blunt-lobed Woodsia
  3. Colicroot
  4. Eastern Small-footed Myotis
  5. False Hop Sedge
  6. Gypsy Cuckoo Bumble Bee
  7. Kentucky Coffee-tree
  8. Lowland Toothcup
  9. Massasauga (Carolinian and Great Lakes – St. Lawrence populations)
  10. Scarlet Ammannia

The reports show that the province has made progress toward the protection and recovery of these species at risk.

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 goals

The government response statements for these 11 species were completed in 2018:
