Habitat approved for endangered Southwestern arroyo toad
The U S Fish and Wildlife Service approved an 180000 acre habitat for the endangered Southwestern arroyo toad stretching from Monterey to San Diego counties. Private landowners helped scale back the initial half million acre proposal amid a Center for Biological Diversity lawsuit alleging Endangered Species Act violations. The service designates critical habitat but does not itself preserve or block development. the toad, once widespread in Southern and Central California, has seen 75 percent of its habitat reduced by human activity since its 1994 listing.
