Endangered and Threatened Species: Designation of Critical Habitat for Four Distinct Population Segments of the Foothill Yellow-Legged Frog
Summary
The federal government is proposing to protect specific areas of land and water where four populations of foothill yellow-legged frogs live by designating these areas as critical habitat. This protection aims to prevent development and other activities that could harm the frogs and their homes, recognizing that these frog populations are at risk of disappearing entirely.
