TORONTO, Nov. 27 /CNW/ – Gord Miller, Environmental Commissioner of
Ontario (ECO), released his fourth annual report to the Legislature today,
calling on Ontario to "think beyond the near and now" in confronting the
environmental challenges facing the province. The essential need to preserve
Ontario's biological diversity is a major theme of this year's report, which
has articles on the large number of species at risk in Ontario, the severe
shortage of native tree seeds, and the threats to native animal and plant
species from urban sprawl, industry, forestry and invasive species.
Biodiversity is a concern that brings together some of the most serious
environmental issues facing Ontario, said Miller. Provincial ministries work
away at fragments of these issues, he added, but what is needed is an
integrated strategy that would deal with these interrelated problems in a
coordinated way.
