Ontario's Greenbelt: A step in the right direction, but is it enough to protect biodiversity?

Retrieved on: 
Monday, September 25, 2023

Although Ford has now restored his broken promise not to touch the Greenbelt, he remains adamant that developing the Greenbelt would be good for Ontarians.

Key Points: 
  • Although Ford has now restored his broken promise not to touch the Greenbelt, he remains adamant that developing the Greenbelt would be good for Ontarians.
  • This hypocrisy underscores that what is required now, more than ever, is more protection for our planet, and not less.

Not-so-careful consideration

    • Experts from a long list of fields like hydrology, ecology, climatology and more contributed their knowledge to this process.
    • As a result, the Greenbelt is made up of ecologically significant areas like wetlands, forests and important wildlife corridors.
    • Ford’s plan to simply swap lands in and out of the Greenbelt was made without this same type of careful consideration.
    • Although it is disappointing, to say the least, that this did not seem to factor into his decision whatsoever.

Critical state of biodiversity

    • Biodiversity underpins every biological process in nature, creating resilience and ensuring the continued functioning of these natural systems.
    • Protecting ecologically rich areas like the Greenbelt bolsters biodiversity and in turn, the Earth’s life support systems.
    • However, this latest assessment paints a dire picture of the current state of global biodiversity.
