Summary: A coalition of environmental and conservation organizations is submitting comments on the APHIS Notice of Intent to prepare a programmatic environmental impact statement for the grasshopper and Mormon cricket suppression program. They argue that APHIS should shift from a pesticide-centered approach to one that prioritizes integrated pest management (IPM), preventative measures, and greater transparency and tribal consultation.
