The remove of the Endangered Species Act of Ontario would be a massive step backwards. The fact that this is being proposed at all is truly heartbreaking. Prioritizing our species desires over the needs of other species is not humane at all.
I am writing to plea on behalf of the natural world, against the proposed interim changes to the Endangered Species Act, 2007, and the proposal for the Species Conservation Act, 2025.

I am opposed to the proposed interim changes to the current Endangered Species Act, 2007 (ESA) - immediate amendments designed "to speed up project timelines and provide greater certainty for proponents".

The fact that Bill 5 is even being considering in 2025 is astonishing. Why are we moving backwards instead of forwards? When did economic development become more important than species at risk?

I am writing to strongly oppose Bill 5: the Protect Ontario by Unleashing Our Economy Act and its dangerous proposals, including the creation of Special Economic Zones, the weakening of Ontario’s endangered species protections, and the exemption of the Eagle’s Nest mine from an environmental review.

I am writing to express strong opposition to the proposed interim changes to the Endangered Species Act, 2007 and the proposed Species Conservation Act, 2025 (ERO #019-8497). These changes would significantly weaken protections for Ontario’s species at risk.

Dear Premier Ford,
We are in a global biodiversity crisis. In Ontario alone, more than 230 plants and animals are at risk. The healthy forests, waters and wetlands species at risk rely on sustain all Ontarians.
I urge your government to:
