On November 11, the Department of Interior announced the brown pelican’s removal from the endangered species list. The brown pelican was listed as endangered in 1970 after near decimation attributed to the pesticide DDT. The pelican’s recovery is largely attributed to the 1972 ban on the general use of the pesticide.
