Sign-On Letter: Ask EPA to make its Fungicide Strategy Better for Wildlife and Habitat

Please consider signing this letter submitting Public Comments on the EPA’s Draft Strategy to Protect Endangered Species from Fungicides, a document intended to guide regulators on how to mitigate impacts on ESA-listed wildlife and habitat from fungicides (fungus killing preventing chemicals). This Draft Strategy also introduces a framework for addressing wildlife harmed by pesticide-coated seeds in field conditions.

This is the third strategy being released for public comment by the EPA to guide their ESA/Pesticide work, being preceded by the Herbicide and Insecticide strategies.

The Draft Fungicide Strategy is a massive step in the right direction but remains under-protective of wildlife, and there are shortcomings which need to be addressed before the Strategy is finalized.

This sign-on letter will be open until July 20^th at 1:00pm PST
