Protect Our Frogs from Chemicals

Protect Our Frogs from Chemicals

The Issue

In recognition of "Save The Frogs Day" on April 29, join the Center for Biological Diversity in calling on the EPA to ban atrazine, a pesticide highly toxic to frogs and other wildlife.

Atrazine is the most commonly used herbicide in the United States. Recent research shows that atrazine is an endocrine disruptor that chemically castrates and feminizes male frogs at concentrations 30 times lower than levels allowed by the EPA.

Please use the form below to tell the EPA to ban atrazine, or at least reevaluate the chemical based on recent studies demonstrating significant human and wildlife health concerns. Act today.
