Species Status Assessment for the Foothill Yellow-legged Frog

This document summarizes the results of the Species Status Assessment (SSA) for the foothill yellow-legged frog. The SSA assessed the foothill yellow-legged frog at an individual, population, and species level in order to determine whether the species can maintain its persistence into the future. This report includes information about foothill yellow-legged frog ecology and evaluates the current condition of the species, including the significant past, current, and future influences that are affecting foothill yellow-legged frog viability. The document also includes an assessment of the changes in species’ viability that might occur in three probable future scenarios. The SSA report is intended to be a living document upon which other documents, such as recovery plans and 5-year reviews, will be based. This SSA report was developed to inform a 12-month finding.
