EPA: Endangered Species Educational Resources Toolbox

The Pesticide and Endangered Species Educational Resources Toolbox catalogs educational resources including guidance documents, handouts, presentations, informational webinars, and other resources relating to EPA’s endangered species work. EPA developed the materials in this toolbox for a variety of stakeholders who may have differing levels of knowledge about EPA’s efforts to protect listed species.

For example, crop consultants, retailers, extension agents, and others, may use these materials to educate growers and applicators on the Endangered Species Act strategies or mitigation measures they may see on product labels.

EPA will continue adding new materials to the toolbox as they are developed. Resources include the following:

ESA
