We need to help endangered species so they do not become extinct. We must work together with nature and the endangered species here in Ontario. So many species have become endangered and driven out of their homes due to us building communities, towns and cities.. Read more

Bill 5’s Schedules 2 and 10 making interim changes to and replace the Endangered Species Act (ESA) are totally unacceptable. They undermine the critical conservation of species at risk of extinction and their habitat for their life cycle. Read more
