Ensuring the safe use of insecticides is a crucial part of protecting our environment. We have released a draft Insecticide Strategy for public comment - a milestone in our work to adopt early, practical protections for federally endangered and threatened (listed) species. This draft identifies protections that we will consider when registering a new insecticide or reevaluating an existing one. In developing this draft strategy, we’ve identified protections to address potential impacts for more than 850 species listed by the U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service. Learn more about this draft strategy and how to comment ⬇️ https://lnkd.in/gu3ChxPZ #EndangeredSpecies #PublicComment

About us
U.S. Environmental Protection Agency’s (EPA) mission is to protect human health and the environment. EPA works to ensure that: - Americans have clean air, land and water; - National efforts to reduce environmental risks are based on the best available scientific information; - Federal laws protecting human health and the environment are administered and enforced fairly, effectively and as Congress intended; - Environmental stewardship is integral to U.S. policies concerning natural resources, human health, economic growth, energy, transportation, agriculture, industry, and international trade, and these factors are similarly considered in establishing environmental policy; - All parts of society--communities, individuals, businesses, and state, local and tribal governments--have access to accurate information sufficient to effectively participate in managing human health and environmental risks; - Contaminated lands and toxic sites are cleaned up by potentially responsible parties and revitalized; and - Chemicals in the marketplace are reviewed for safety. The agency was founded in 1970 and is headquartered in Washington, District of Columbia with ten additional regional headquarters offices (Boston, New York, Philadelphia, Atlanta, Chicago, Dallas, Kansas City, Denver, San Francisco, and Seattle) as well as more than a dozen laboratories, and other regional and programmatic offices.

#DYK the Monarch Blitz starts this Friday? 🦋 The monarch butterfly, our #PollinatorPickem runner-up, covers an extensive portion of North America, and we're asking you to report monarch butterfly sightings, find milkweed plants, and look for monarch eggs, caterpillars and chrysalises. Climate change, especially changes in weather patterns, can greatly impact monarch populations. EPA supports monarch conservation by balancing weed management with monarch conservation through pesticide registration and review, and through stakeholder outreach and education. Join the Monarch Blitz: https://lnkd.in/gdQXzsUX #ParticipatoryScience #Monarchs #Pollinators
