- Abstract
The article focuses on the recovery program for the threatened Chiricahua leopard frog, also known as Lithobates chiricahuensis, in the U.S. It states that the recovery is the most vital part of endangered species conservation. However, funding and staff resources are needed to overcome years of population declines and habitat degradation. Meanwhile, the causes of the decline include predation by introduced species, and introduced fungal skin disease.
