Service Description: One reason a species may become endangered or threatened is their habitats are changing due to the actions of people. Changes to species’ habitats may include loss of habitat and chemical contamination of their food, water, and shelter.
As described in EPA’s Endangered Species Act (ESA) workplan, EPA’s Office of Pesticide Programs (OPP) is moving forward with the Vulnerable Species Pilot, a comprehensive, long-term approach to identify species particularly vulnerable to pesticides, create mitigations to protect them from exposure, and implement the protections across different types of pesticides (e.g., herbicides, insecticides, fungicides). The pilot focuses on species Fish and Wildlife Service (FWS) noted as generally vulnerable to environmental stressors with one of these stressors possibly being pesticides. In total, the Vulnerable Species Pilot includes 27 species.
These StoryMaps provide background on EPA's Vulnerable Species Project and each of the vulnerable species. This feature layer supports the Vulnerable Species Project StoryMaps and represents Pesticide Use Limitation Areas (PULA) for the Leedy's Roseroot.
