The true magnitude and duration of these impacts are unknown and understated. Brodifacoum, the rodenticide proposed for the Farallon Islands eradication project, is so dangerous to non-target wildlife, domestic pets, and humans alike that California placed a moratorium on nearly all uses of the product on the mainland in 2020. The US EPA recognized in its review of rodenticide products in 2008 that brodifacoum is among the four rodenticides that pose the greatest risk to wildlife, and has implemented restrictions on the sale and use of this product, including that it must be contained in clearly labeled tamper-resistant bait stations. As previously mentioned during testimony in front of the California Coastal Commission and included on the Coastal Consistency Determination (April 2021), the product is still permitted, legally, for use on island eradication projects due to the complexity of island habitation. However, this exception of use does not hinder the product’s danger. The FWS plans to smother the Farallon Islands with approximately 3,500 lbs (1.45 tons) of cereal-like grain bait with two aerial applications. Additionally, Brodifacoum-infused bait will be hand-baited within caves, areas of human habitation, and other hard to reach places, to ensure that the project is “a success.” Read our Full Public Comment HERE https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a766a60bce176c268d99786/1639708868012-7G9GUMBGXOGRGN1XAY2A/Untitled+design+%289%29.png News - DTA Submits Public Comment Opposing the Farallon Island House Mouse Eradication Project - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a766a60bce176c268d99786/1639721914048-1QN83Q1FBWMMKWY4V74U/Double-crested+Cormorant+%281%29.png News - DTA Submits Public Comment Opposing the Farallon Island House Mouse Eradication Project - The Farallon island arboreal salamander Arboreal Salamander (Aneides Lugubris) https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a766a60bce176c268d99786/1639723084619-FCX5GGKGKOOC1SBJJ1BY/Double-crested+Cormorant.png News - DTA Submits Public Comment Opposing the Farallon Island House Mouse Eradication Project - Make it stand out Double-crested Cormorant (Nannopterum auritum) https://www.defendthemall.org/news/2021/11/27/the-disappearance-of-british-columbias-birds monthly 0.5 2025-11-06 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a766a60bce176c268d99786/1638132941357-JWK79AXMYB436W3MMWW9/unsplash-image-bq7MdBDLnPE.jpg News - The Disappearance of British Columbia's Birds - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a766a60bce176c268d99786/1638132290519-DULZV58BR7T2MHO7WALH/Table+1.png News - The Disappearance of British Columbia's Birds - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a766a60bce176c268d99786/1638132308659-9WZJVGA2PIWQTO3WWW2Y/Table+1+p2.png News - The Disappearance of British Columbia's Birds - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a766a60bce176c268d99786/1638132327947-4D0K7L60LHI5O5EPFOI2/Table+1+p3.png News - The Disappearance of British Columbia's Birds - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a766a60bce176c268d99786/1638132012475-4GWZ1BW1DYRT658JCGPS/Exhibit+2+Table.png News - The Disappearance of British Columbia's Birds - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a766a60bce176c268d99786/1638131991918-QOROA3M2O1A7FWO48CFW/Exhibit+3+Table.png News - The Disappearance of British Columbia's Birds - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a766a60bce176c268d99786/1638134244086-HMBBUGSMFMFXAT3WXBO0/Untitled+design+%282%29.png News - The Disappearance of British Columbia's Birds - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.defendthemall.org/news/2021/8/15/dta-2021-virtual-advocacy-pitch-competition-cry8n monthly 0.5 2025-11-06 https://www.defendthemall.org/news/2021/7/23/advocates-celebrate-british-columbias-new-rodenticide-action-plan monthly 0.5 2025-11-06 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a766a60bce176c268d99786/1627064260278-OPWPXP6TI53864HIBFIG/Copy+of+Advocates+celebrate+British+Colobia%27s+new+Rodenticide+Action+Plan+%281%29.png News - Advocates Welcome British Columbia's New Rodenticide Action Plan - A Step Forward for WiLdlife The B.C.

Even if INV directly avoided amphibian reproductive habitats, heavy metal pollution released elsewhere—flowing through the interconnected páramo hydrology— would eventually reach, and devastate, this frog’s livelihood. Furthermore, no information has been provided as to how noise and seismic vibrations related to daily blasting, nor how INV’s heavy machinery and sophisticated dewatering program will NOT jeopardize the well-being of many sensitive, water-dependent amphibian species nearby. Loss of these species would have devastating consequences for the entire ecosystem (Bralower, T. and Brice, D., n.d.). Despite continued claims of transparency, and that it is “working with local communities,” INV Metals has denied legitimate requests for information about the potential impacts of the Loma Larga Project by local organizations that will be directly impacted by the company’s operations. If the company is convinced that the project will not impact the páramos watershed, then there should be no reason to continue to withhold technical information from those who have the most at stake. DTA and its partners have delivered an Open Letter to INV Metals encouraging the company to uphold its obligations and commitments as a Canadian company operating abroad by responding to local organizations’ request for information. We look forward to INV Metals’ swift, positive, and timely response so that the true impact of the Loma Larga project can be objectively evaluated before more irreparable damage is permitted to move forward. https://www.defendthemall.org/news/2020/8/30/dta-illincocha monthly 0.5 2025-11-06 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a766a60bce176c268d99786/1618389731549-4GM8GHWYEZJDGOFBV2D7/WhatsApp%2BImage%2B2020-08-31%2Bat%2B11.35.59%2BAM.jpg News - DTA Submits Amicus Curiae in Support of Action of Protection for Illincocha https://www.defendthemall.org/news/ban-rodenticides-bc monthly 0.5 2025-11-06 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a766a60bce176c268d99786/1599932277216-5GA1J2TKA6UWWX2FAZGJ/36794692231_ea0c141918_o.jpg News - Rodenticide Policy Reform Gains Momentum Throughout British Columbia Photos provided by Melissa Hafting.

Most rodenticides are still legal and even restricted products are permitted for use across 9 broadly defined exemption categories. • Self-published "studies” by pest control companies proclaim rodent population increases and rank “rattiest cities” based on the number of service requests, not science. • Many factors contribute to fluctuations in rodent activity, including: easy access to food sources and nesting opportunities; attractants such as excess garbage, hoarding, wildlife feeding; and secondary poisoning of predators. •Using rodenticides, especially bait box subscription programs, is easier and more lucrative for business than addressing root causes of infestations, but is known to actually increase rodent populations over time. https://www.defendthemall.org/blog/2023/species-spotlight-culpeo monthly 0.5 2025-11-06 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a766a60bce176c268d99786/6ce33be1-6a32-442c-bc09-0e2e1b6a1e4e/culpeo.jpg Blog -

Being nearly untouched by humans, the DMZ has become an accidental home to a thriving ecosystem and a refuge for various animal and plant species. With improving diplomatic relations between North and South Korea, environmentalist communities are raising concerns about the future of the ecosystem within the DMZ. The improving diplomatic conditions could lead to development in the currently-untouched area, threatening the habitat of the many species. https://www.defendthemall.org/blog/report-poisoning-bc monthly 0.5 2025-11-06 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a766a60bce176c268d99786/1604295455934-2KVRD8SBQC5Q2JC9FYEV/IMG_1472.jpg Blog - BC Advocates Request Reporting - BC Advocates Request Reporting B.C. residents are increasingly concerned about wildlife and the impacts of rodenticides (rat poisons) on the ecosystem as reports of dead animals rapidly emerge. In Greater Victoria, 6 suspected poisonings have been reported since July 2019. Unfortunately, this is not surprising as the sale of these products has increased dramatically in recent years. In B.C. alone, brodifacoum sales have increased by 19% and bromadiolone sales have increased by 279% between 2003 and 2015. However, the number of animals lost to these compounds is difficult to quantify as most are left unreported and/or unanalyzed. In an effort to better understand the volume of animals lost to these rodenticide poisoning, local advocates are requesting the public’s help in gathering data. If you find a dead or dying animal in British Columbia please follow the instructions and submit the form below.

This campaign sought to improve the lives of companion animals in Lorain, Ohio by amending the city’s ordinance to provide for restrictions on tethering or chaining a dog. The proposed ordinance identified circumstances in which tethering must be prohibited to protect the animals, such as in cases of extreme heat or cold, or for extended periods of time. The proposal established the extreme temperatures at which an animal may not be tethered outside. The range of below 25 degrees Fahrenheit and above 90 degrees Fahrenheit creates the outer limits of safe conditions for animals. Finally, the proposal identified the punishments for violating this ordinance, with an increased charge if an animal is sick or injured a result of a violation. With help from City Council Members, Patrol and Humane Officers, and the community, the ordinance was passed in June 2016 and went into effect a month later. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a766a60bce176c268d99786/1588702519858-5O7H84HKQG5X0AHG86SD/Lorain+Animal+Intiative+Chart.jpg Lorain Animal Initiative - The Lorain Animal Initiative The Lorain Animal Initiative was one of DTA’s first undertakings.
