Save Endangered Species Coloring Book

This coloring book is published by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency’s (EPA’s) Office of Pesticide Programs & is a fun way to learn about animals and the environment surrounding them!

Did you know that when people use pesticides to kill insects and other pests, they can also endanger the lives of plants and animals? That’s why EPA has a program to protect threatened and endangered species from contact with pesticides that might be harmful.

If EPA determines that a pesticide may put at risk an endangered or threatened species, EPA will tell you on the label of the pesticide container how to find out what you need to do to protect that species. EPA will have a bulletin that explains how to use the product in a way that will not harm the species.

The plants and animals shown in this coloring book are not always threatened by pesticides; however, they do represent many different species our program is protecting.
