The Mountain Yellow-Legged Frogs were once the most abundant frogs in California, but have disappeared from over 90% of the lakes they once inhabited, in large part due to the introduction of non-native trout, which are voracious predators of tadpoles.
The California Department of Fish & Game is currently deciding whether to continue their decades old trout stocking program.
Highly-respected scientific research has shown that endangered frog populations quickly recover in the absence of trout. However, many pro-fishing organizations oppose plans to discontinue stocking non-native fish in California's lakes and streams, so we need your help to make sure the Department decides in favor of protecting threatened frog species.
Help us save the Yellow-legged Frogs by ensuring they have habitat free of predatory non-native fish.
