dozens of pesticides known to be toxic to more than 100 endangered and threatened species

^quote In June 2013 the Center and Pesticide Action Network filed an amended complaint in their ongoing efforts to protect the nation’s most vulnerable wildlife from toxic pesticides. The lawsuit seeks to compel the EPA to evaluate the impacts of dozens of pesticides known to be toxic to more than 100 endangered and threatened species, including Florida panthers, California condors, piping plovers, black-footed ferrets, arroyo toads, Indiana bats and Alabama sturgeon. Documents from the Fish and Wildlife Service and EPA, as well as peer-reviewed scientific studies, indicate that these species are harmed by the pesticides. ^endquote from http://enewspf.com/latest-news/science/science-a-environmental/47620-settlement-will-safeguard-endangered-california-frog-from-harmful-pesticides.html
