Endangered Species Act, 2007 Sample Clauses

Endangered Species Act, 2007. The ESA 2007 protects both species and habitat. Section 9 of the ESA “prohibits killing, harming, harassing, capturing, possessing, collecting, buying, selling, trading, leasing or transporting species that are listed as threatened, endangered or extirpated”. Section 10 of the ESA, 2007 prohibits damaging or destroying habitat of endangered or threatened species. Protected habitat is either based on general definition in the Act or prescribed through a regulation. The ESA 2007 defines general habitat as an area on which the species depends, directly or indirectly, to carry on its life processes, including reproduction, rearing, hibernation, migration or feeding. It is important to be aware that changes may occur in both species and habitat protection. The ESA applies to listed species on the Species at Risk in Ontario List (SARO). The Committee on the Status of Species in Ontario (COSSARO) meets regularly to evaluate species for listing and/or re-evaluate species already listed. As a result, species’ designations may change that could in turn change the level of protection they receive under the ESA 2007. Also, habitat protection provisions for a species may change e.g. if a species-specific habitat regulation comes into effect. The regulation would establish the area that is protected as habitat for the species. The Ministry of Natural Resources continues to encourage ecological site assessments to determine the potential for SAR occurrences. When a SAR does occur on the site, it is recommended that the developer contact MNR for technical advice and to discuss what activities can occur without contravention of the Act. If an activity is proposed that will contravene the Act, the developer must contact the MNR to discuss the potential for application of certain permits or agreement.
