‘Death by 1,000 cuts’: GTA West Highway exposes cataclysmic impact our addiction to urbanization has on wildlife

An analysis completed by The Pointer has discovered nearly 30 species at risk lie within the proposed path of the GTA West Highway. 

Construction of the highway will lead to extensive habitat destruction and proliferate the urban sprawl that has paved over much of Southern Ontario in recent decades. 

With each new development, more habitat is lost and, eventually, there will be nowhere for wildlife to flee.
