Government of Ontario
Ontario's government is working for the people to reaffirm its commitment to protecting species at risk and their habitats.
As outlined in the made-in-Ontario environment plan, the government is ensuring stringent protections for species at risk, while continuing to work with conservation organizations, businesses, Indigenous communities and the public to improve the effectiveness of the program. As a first step, the province is undertaking a review of the Endangered Species Act.
