Saving the Chiricahua Leopard frog

Arizona Game and Fish Department and the U.S. Forest Service are salvaging threatened Chiricahua leopard frogs from a pond at Beatty's Guest Ranch in Miller Canyon, burned by the Monument Fire. The Chiricahua leopard frog is listed as threatened under the U.S. Endangered Species Act. The south face of Miller Canyon above the ranch is severely burned and sediment flows into the pond are likely when monsoon rains start. The owners of the ranch, an official Safe Harbor site for the frogs for more than ten years, requested assistance. The pond is a source population for introduction of the frogs elsewhere. Approximately 50 frogs and 100 tadpoles will be netted, placed in aerated and cooled containers and transported on Tuesday, June 29th to Glendale Community College until the threat to their habitat has passed.
