Researchers with the Wilder Institute/Calgary Zoo have recently translocated more than a thousand tadpoles to wetland areas in southeastern B.C. Working with the B.C. Northern Leopard Frog Recovery Team, they're hoping the project will help the endangered frog's population in the province bounce back after years of declines. Researchers say there's only one known surviving native population of northern leopard frogs in B.C. That population is located in the Creston Valley, and work this year includes translocating tadpoles to wetlands near Kimberley.
