Cattle Threatens Rare Sierra Amphibians | Fresno News

Cattle in the Sierra Nevada are threatening rare amphibians—Yosemite toads and Sierra Nevada yellow-legged frogs—by trampling eggs, eroding streambanks, and destroying breeding habitats. The Center for Biological Diversity is preparing to sue the U.S. Forest Service and Fish and Wildlife Service for failing to enforce protections under the Endangered Species Act. Six critical forest areas are at risk, and with new survey data showing cattle intrusion, the Center demands immediate action—or they’ll head to court in 60 days.
