- The tiny frog that could: How Arizona is pulling a threatened species back from the edge
Arizona is creating new ponds in the White Mountains to aid the recovery of the Chiricahua leopard frog, a species listed as threatened under the Endangered Species Act. The Arizona Game and Fish Department and the Amphibian and Reptile Conservancy are collaborating on the project, which aims to counter population decline caused by drought and climate change.
