[All] Critical Habitat emails: Part 1 of 3

[Louisette Lanteigne]

Dear members of GREN

I'm working on helping to stop damages to the habitats of rare species in Hidden Valley, Melancthon, Mount Nemo, Doon South and everywhere else in Ontario. 

The key to protection is by way of securing the mapping of critical habitat for rare species prior to approval processes.

Please review this first email shared with MNR Guelph's Ken Cornelisse, Jim Bogart of the Jefferson Salamander Recovery Team as well as Environmental Commissioner Gord Miller and Justin Duncan of Ecojustice, the solicitor who successfully sued the MNR previously for not establishing critical habitat maps prior to approval processes. 

This is part 1 of 3. The other letters will clearly explain themselves. 

Lulu

   Dear Mr. Bogart and Mr. Cornelisse

In regards to the confirmed Jefferson Salamanders located within the city of Kitchener Ontario in Hidden Valley, I would like you to respond to the following question.
Have the scientists on the Jefferson Salamander Recovery Team mapped the location of it’s critical habitat in Hidden Valley and included those maps in a draft recovery strategy in order to clearly identify critical habitat? With the current plan to extend River Road through the forests of Hidden Valley, my objective at this time is to assure that the mapping has taken place in order to assure a reasonable measure of compliance towards Canada’s Species At Risk Act, the Provincial Policy Statement 2005 section 2.1.3 and Regional policies 4.1.2 and 4.2.1. 

Please provide me with a written answer via email prior to the May 17, 2011 public open house regarding the River Road Extension. I would
 like to attend this event fully informed. 

If you can kindly email the response to all parties CC'd as well, I would greatly appreciate that. 
Thank you kindly for your time.
