In 2012 and 2013, WRA established populations of CRLF at two ponds in support of a first of its kind conservation bank in Solano County. Despite habitat restoration, translocation, adaptive management, and extensive monitoring, the population struggled to launch, leading to a localized extirpation at one of the ponds in 2017. Attempts at subsequent internal translocations in 2018 and 2019 were unsuccessful. In 2023, WRA sought help from the San Francisco Zoo to assist with head-starting CRLF for release. Through observations made while in their care, the Zoo staff identified a possible congenital smoking-gun. Stakeholders have since rallied together in a story of collaboration to tackle the issue at a regional scale. In this talk, we'll provide an update on a project last presented on in 2016 - the challenges we've encountered, and have worked to overcome. We'll discuss the coalition that has come together to manage a listed-species beyond property lines, and finally we will explore actions we're currently taking to augment diversity for CRLF in a genetic cul-de-sac.
