Back to Basics on Endangered Species Conservation--Janke 

Dr. Adam Janke, associate professor and wildlife extension specialist at Iowa State University shared, “Back to Basics on Endangered Species Conservation” to provide a context for why the US Environmental Protection Agency is revising policies and rules related to pesticide use. This excellent presentation breaks down several complex topics, including what "endangered" means and how it is assigned to a species; details about public and private conservation and benefits of proactive efforts; how efforts to protect endangered species are improving, along with how these efforts are influencing the US Environmental Protection Agency and pesticide product registrations.
