Legal basis : No description Court Ruling : Link to the ruling Summary : CBD files a lawsuit against the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service for failing to ensure atrazine, 2,4-D and alachlor, three widely used pesticides, don't jeopardize the survival of the delta smelt and Alameda whipsnake, two Bay Area endangered species. A settlement is reached, by which FWS will analyze the impacts of atrazine and glyphosate, the two most commonly used pesticides in the US, on 1,500 endangered U.S. plants and animals and develop conservation measures on these two pesticides, along with propazine and simazine, which together represent nearly 40 percent of annual pesticide use in the United States. As a result of the settlement, the EPA released a draft biological evaluation on 11/25/2020 finding that glyphosate is likely to injure or kill 93% of the plants and animals protected under the Endangered Species Act.
