The Most Endangered Frogs in B.C. - Greenwood Boundary Creek Times
Wildlife Preservation Canada plans to release 10,000 to 20,000 tadpoles a year to restore the province’s last Oregon spotted frog populations.
- Wildlife Preservation Canada launched a captive breeding program to restore the Oregon spotted frog, aiming to release 10,000-20,000 tadpoles annually into Fraser Valley wetlands over the next five years.
- Endangered Oregon spotted frogs face habitat loss from agriculture and human development, alongside invasive species like the American bullfrog and green frog that threaten their survival.
- Lead biologist Andrea Gielens explained how to distinguish native frogs from invaders by examining the eardrum-to-eye ratio. "And if the eardrum is smaller than the eye, then theyre a native species," Gielens said.
- The charity will share information about the recovery effort at a Metro Vancouver Parks meteor shower event on Saturday, Aug. 15, at Aldergrove Regional Park in Aldergrove from 8 p.m. to 11 p.m.
- Beyond the frog program, WPC works to preserve other at-risk species in British Columbia, including the painted turtle, the province's only remaining native freshwater turtle.
