Description
A large habitat restoration project will provide new and improved wetlands for the federally-protected Chiricahua leopard frogs in the White Mountain Grasslands Wildlife Area in Arizona, bringing much-needed surface water for native wildlife amid the ongoing drought.
Drought is a threat for Chiricahua leopard frogs because they need permanent water sources like springs, streams, ponds and stock tanks. Five of the improved ponds will be filled from precipitation, and one will be connected to a nearby well for year-round water supply.
