Saving The Foothill Yellow-Legged Frog
Rana boylii

Introduction
The Foothill-Yellow Legged Frog (Rana boylii) is an amazing amphibian species that lives in and near rivers throughout California. The species is under threat from hydroelectric and water diversion projects that alter the river's water temperature, timing of floods, and streambed characteristics. Droughts in California exacerbate the problems for these frogs. Invasive American Bullfrogs prey on Foothill Yellow-Legged Frogs and compete with them for habitat and food.

Since 2010 SAVE THE FROGS! has been working to save these frogs via various campaigns described below. We appreciate your tax-deductible donation to SAVE THE FROGS!, which enable us to save these beautiful creatures from the multitude of threats they face.



Preventing the City of San Francisco's attempts to destroy sections of Alameda Creek
SAVE THE FROGS! is actively working to prevent the City of San Francisco's attempts to destroy portions of the Little Yosemite Canyon of Alameda Creek. This is some of these frogs' finest habitat, so we must protect it. Alameda Creek is southeast of the San Francisco Bay.

Please read this article from the September 2015 issue of SAVE THE FROGS! Magazine for a great introduction to Foothill Yellow-Legged Frogs and our campaign to save them at Alameda Creek.
