DDT, a pesticide widely used in the mid-20th century, threatened the brown pelican population by causing eggshell thinning, which led to decreased hatching success. The chemical accumulated in the pelicans' bodies through the food chain, affecting their reproductive health. As a result, many eggs would crack or break before hatching, leading to a significant decline in their population. The use of DDT was eventually banned in the U.S. in 1972, helping the brown pelican population to recover over time.
