Frog that became extinct in England is re-introduced to its former home

The video discusses the conservation efforts for pool frogs in England, focusing on habitat restoration and water management. The Norfolk Wildlife Trust has played a significant role in recreating suitable environments for these frogs. The species, which went extinct in the 1990s, was reintroduced from Sweden in 2005. The video highlights the importance of maintaining open, sunlit habitats and managing water levels to support the frogs' breeding. The successful reintroduction has led to a second population of pool frogs in Britain.
