The California red-legged frog (Rana draytonii) is a large frog native to California and northern Baja California, Mexico that predominantly inhabits slower-moving permanent water sources such as streams, lakes, marshes, ponds, and ephemeral drainages in valley bottoms and foothills, as well as adjacent upland habitats. Range-wide population decline of the species has been significant and today the species is estimated to occupy less than 30% of its historical range. In Mexico, California red-legged frog populations are declining dramatically, primarily from anthropogenic stresses, including ground water mining, habitat conversion, and spread of exotic species. To improve habitat conditions for the species, a local non-profit conservation organization, along with international partners, created new pond and wetland habitat along an existing stream containing California red-legged frogs in 2018, and has performed annual maintenance since that time. Annual population surveys have shown a strong increase in population at the restoration site since 2018. This data shows that habitat restoration and maintenance can effectively increase local populations of California red-legged frog in Baja California; and funding from international partners to support conversation efforts like this one can be an effective use of funding to benefit threatened species over a relatively short period of time.
