Cover Caption Cover description : Sites of illegal marijuana cultivation on public land in California have been found to be the source of a variety of toxicants that pose a severe risk of both direct and secondary poisoning to wildlife. At this site, over 13 kg of the rodenticide brodifacoum, as well as malathion and a carbamate pesticide had been distributed to protect young marijuana plants. Carbamate‐based pesticides (white bottle) are a highly toxic family of pesticides banned in the United States. Toxicants are often mixed in unmarked containers, necessitating the use of protective equipment by ecological researchers involved in documenting the impacts of these activities and cleaning‐up the sites.
