The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS) reopened its public comment period on the proposed critical habitat for the foothill yellow-legged frog.
The proposal designates 760,071 essential acres of critical habitat for the four listed distinct population segments of the species in California.
“Establishing critical habitat for the frog will not interfere with the operations of California’s extensive water infrastructure, impact essential activities that reduce the risk of large-scale high-severity wildfire or reduce access to recreation or rangeland for grazing,” the agency said.
