Pesticides and U.S. Endangered Species

The Center for Biological Diversity and Pesticide Action Network North America have filed the most comprehensive legal action ever taken to protect endangered species from harmful pesticides. On Jan. 20, 2011, the groups sued the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency for registering and approving hundreds of pesticides known to harm imperiled species. The lawsuit seeks protection for 214 threatened or endangered species in 49 states and two U.S. territories.
