SOS: Save Ontario’s Species
With your help, we can remind the government that it is reviewing the Endangered Species Act, not the Endangered Business Act. The law’s purpose is to protect and recover Ontario’s most vulnerable plants and animals.
Please sign the letter below to Minister Phillips, the Environmental Registry of Ontario and your local MPP. Their decision will profoundlly and perhaps irreversably impact on species at risk and their habitats. The deadline for comment through the Environmental Registry of Ontario (ERO) is March 4, 2019.

Protect Boreal CaribouPlease use your voice to support caribou – the grey ghosts of the boreal forest – at: protectcaribou.ca. Tell the Government of Canada that caribou denial myths must be dispelled, and action must be taken with provinces to plan for caribou recovery and sustainable prosperity. Your voice matters. |

Impact
You can make an enormous difference and it’s free! Ontario Nature’s advocates helped with campaigns that led to a conservation plan for the Oak Ridges Moraine, an 80 percent reduction in neonicotinoid pesticides, wetland and woodlot protection, establishment of 2.4 million hectares of new protected areas, and much more.
