Saving Yosemite's Frogs

The video discusses the decline of Sierra Nevada yellow-legged frogs in Yosemite due to fish stocking and the chytrid fungus. Initially abundant, these frogs faced competition and predation from introduced fish, leading to population declines. The chytrid fungus, identified in 1999, further exacerbated the issue. Conservation efforts in Yosemite focus on habitat restoration and fish eradication to support frog recovery, showing positive results in ecosystem restoration.
