Endangered Species C O L O R I N G Book "Save Our Species"
This picture book will introduce you to 21 endangered and threatened plants and animals found in the United States. There are approximately 1,300 different species in the United States that are listed as endangered or threatened. When people use pesticides to kill insects and other pests, they can also endanger the lives of plants and animals. We have a program to protect threatened and endangered species from contact with pesticides that might be harmful. If EPA determines that a pesticide may put an endangered or threatened species at risk, 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 depicted here are not necessarily threatened by pesticides; however, they are representative of the many different species our program is protecting. Print the pages and use your crayons to bring to life oceans, swamps, deserts, islands and a variety of plants and animals. If we all work together, we can continue to share the earth with these fascinating and important species and enjoy them in the wild -- not only in the pages of books.
