With increasing public concern about the health of our natural environment and ecosystems, the

Ministry of Natural Resources (MNR) is committed to providing reports to the public on the

state of Ontario’s natural resources. State of Resources Reports will provide information on

the health of Ontario’s natural resources, serving to improve government transparency and

accountability, and support partnerships and community involvement in the management of the

province’s natural resources.

Reports that provide a non-technical, objective assessment of Ontario’s natural resources;
Reports that are current and based on the best available science;
Reports that consider the environmental, cultural, social, and economic aspects of natural resource management;
Reports that consider natural resources at a local, regional and/or provincial scale.

Natural Resources:
Resource Reports provide information on a particular resource or broad grouping of

resources that are managed by the MNR. These reports generally include an assessment of the

state or condition of the resource, the factors influencing the resource, and current

management actions.

Special Interest Topics:
Special Interest Reports focus on topics related to natural resources management.

These reports provide important context for understanding complex resource management issues

that can range from wildlife diseases or insect pests to public uses of natural resources, to

the management of specific pieces of geography.

The ministry is developing an annual schedule of reporting through its regular planning process

that will consider public interest, available knowledge and reporting capacity.
