“Endangered Species Act (ESA) reform for pesticides is necessary… In order to meet ESA obligations, pesticide uses are severely restricted, leaving growers with limited tools for crop protection.” (General Welfare, Env. Protection Agency, Page 435)

These pollinator populations are actively harmed by pesticides and can result in large scale population declines affecting the Earth’s well-being. Farmers already working with the EPA as outlined in FIFRA.
