While habitat loss threatens 97% of species at risk in the #Greenbelt, the connection between habitat protection & human health is often overlooked.
Many species have the ability to signal problems in ecosystems, like the health of drinking water or the onset of drought.

ALT Like frogs, toads are amphibians. They differ from most frogs because they have dry skin, warts, crests behind the eyes, and parotoid glands. The parotoid glands produce a poisonous secretion that helps the toad defend itself from predators. https://www.nwf.org/Educational-Resources/Wildlife-Guide/Amphibians/Toads

The #Greenbelt protects some of Ontarioβs oldest trees β eastern white cedars that cling to the rocks of the Escarpment.
Once covering 90% of southern Ontario's landscape, forests remain the most significant ecosystem in the Greenbelt. Let's continue to protect what remains.
