The American Eel Needs Your Help! You have an opportunity to support the recovery of a species that has declined by 99% of its original population, has been completely extirpated from extensive areas of its native Ontario range, and is in steep decline where it still exists. The Ministry of Natural Resources and Forestry has prepared a Draft Government Response Station for the Recovery of the American Eel in Ontario, and you have until January 11th to sign the Petition below. More information can be found here. To add your own comments just click on the letter and type. Thank you for your help!

ORA has serious concern over the lack of transparency and rigor surrounding the exemption for hydroelectric generating stations under Ontario Regulation 242/08, sec. 23.12 of the Endangered Species Act, 2007.
The Ottawa Riverkeeper, the Canadian Wildlife Federation, Ontario Nature, and the Ontario Rivers Alliance also joined forces in calling for urgent and immediate action by the Ontario government to reverse the ongoing decline of the endangered American Eel.
