Spadefoot Toad Update 🐸🌿 With up to 80% of their native habitat lost, the Western spadefoot toad depends on carefully managed breeding sites to persist. IRC monitors populations across the Landmarks through regular pond surveys, tracking breeding activity and collecting data to better understand long-term trends. Restoration efforts, including improving water retention in breeding ponds and enhancing surrounding habitat, are helping support the future of this species.  Learn more at https://lnkd.in/gTk_htRM
