from the herps-are-people-too dept.
We've just received an urgent request from the biologist who identified the Jefferson Salamander in the area where the bulldozers are pushing through the Bayview Extension, in Richmond Hill. Letters to Elizabeth Witmer, Environment Minister in the Ontario government, are urgently needed. See below for contact info for the Minister and suggested points to make, see link for the full story including the legal battle to get a proper and full Environmental Assessment done on this road building project.
1) CALL ELIZABETH WITMER at (416) 314-6790, FAX at (416) 314-6748 and EMAIL at elizabeth.witmer@ene.gov.on.ca. Tell her to enact Section 11.4 of the Environmental Assessment Act. She has the power to stop this road. The bulldozers are on the Bayview Extension right now, despite York Region saying they would do monitoring for the salamander to provide culverts, which won't work if you don't know the extent and location of crossings (monitoring is not being done in the Jefferson forest nor to the north where the wetlands are--both the most likely places for migration and dispersal--drift fence is in open fields and buckets are set 250 feet apart and in the open, not in the hedgerows, which salamanders are most likely using to access Rob Ens' property). And with this being the most sensitive species to development this road will surely cause long-term degradation to the surrounding wetlands and forest and hence the amphibian fauna that is so prolific and diverse in this area. This is the 'source' area for amphibians for the GTA due to the density and abundance of wetlands close by to a large intact forest, the Jefferson Forest. Let's keep the Jefferson Salamander in the Jefferson Forest for generations to come!! The three points to keep in mind; There is no determined need for the road, circumstances have changed with the ORM freeze and new information has come forward (the Threatened Jefferson salamander).
