The #OntarioGreenbelt is a 'safe haven' for 70% more species at risk than 2 decades ago, a new report says

#OntarioNature says protected area now acts as refuge for 121 vulnerable species

by Shawn Jeffords, May 23, 2026

Excerpt: "The number of species at risk using the Greenbelt as a 'safe haven' has jumped by nearly 70 per cent over the past two decades, a new report says as opposition critics press the government to start a long-delayed review and enhance the protected zone.

"The new study from the environmental charity Ontario Nature looks at available government data on species at risk in 2004, a year before the protected area was created by the province. The study traces the progress of birds, reptiles, amphibians, mammals and plants that were vulnerable at that time to present day, and finds that the number of species at risk in the Greenbelt has jumped from 72 to 121.

" 'It reflects … the growing importance of the Greenbelt for vital habitats, particularly in southern #Ontario,' said Tony Morris, conservation policy and campaigns director at Ontario Nature.

"The Greenbelt is an over 800,000-hectare ecologically sensitive zone around the #GreaterGoldenHorseshoe, which was defined in 2005. It provides #EnvironmentalProtection and specifies where development should not occur."

In the 1960s and 1970s, Syukuro Manabe pioneered methods to model the Earth’s atmosphere. In 2021, he received the Nobel Prize in Physics for this work, which is often cited as foundational to modern climate science. Quanta Magazine

This is the #DisintegrationChecklist. #TheChecklist of what we can expect to lose in the next four years. That makes it a tool for gauging the progress of loss. 43 items. A grim countdown score in the form of a simple number: how many are still left? That is the #DisintegrationScore. 43... for now.

Keeping track of this #DisintegrationChecklist, & the
#DisintegrationScore, is not a silly thing. I am not trying to #gamify the #apocalypse. It is a concrete measure, and if it is widely shared, it will make apparent even to the distracted the accelerating loss. A tool for those capable of caring.
