@ParkBoard Once wildlife habitat is disturbed and ecological corridors broken, restoration is difficult and often incomplete.

[Maplewood Flats @MaplewoodFlats]

Rushed @ParkBoard process privatizing #QueenElizabeth Park. Monday vote trolly revenue streams vs bird habitat. Wasnt having independent PB supposed to matter? Where is #biologist report?@ThomasDigby1 flatfooted by @jillreports https://t.co/XpICyHAxAx #vanpoli @BirdsCanada 1/2

[Maplewood Flats @MaplewoodFlats]

@ParkBoard We urge the Board to prioritize long-term ecological protection over short-term attraction development and monetary gain. Noise from proposed food trucks, zipline, ferris wheel will severely diminish enjoyment for those who prioritize walking & reflecting in the park in peace.

These trees are living ancestors of our city, carrying the legacy of our natural & cultural heritage. Development & biodiversity protection can go together. But it can't occur in expense of the other. I request our policymakers to ensure progress that respects our environment.

A pharmaceutical giant stopped importing long-tailed macaques to the #US after a DoJ investigation. Then the company dramatically increased its importation of these endangered monkeys into #Canada.

Many intellectual giants <cough [bots] cough> this week losing their fecal sacs over the @AmOrnith decision to replace eponymous names for birds.

"You're erasing history" they cry.
