Description

This wildlife status report looks at the northern leopard frog, a once-abundant species in the province whose population has declined dramatically over much of its historical North American range. In Alberta, populations have been extirpated over much of western and central Alberta and are absent or greatly reduced in southern Alberta. Because of its virtual disappearance from the province, the northern leopard frog has been designated as Threatened. This report is part of the Alberta Wildlife Status Report series, which provides comprehensive summaries of selected wildlife species intended to be useful to those managing populations of species and their habitats, and to help identify species that may be formally designated as endangered or threatened.
