This grant is for the critical purpose of enhancing the recovery efforts for the endangered Wyoming Toad, a species unique to the Laramie Basin. The US Fish and Wildlife Service, Wyoming Ecological Services Field Office, recognizing the need for effective population reintroduction, is offering this support. With recent acquisitions of recovery sites like Mortensen Lake National Wildlife Refuge and the establishment of Safe Harbor programs, the priority is now to breed healthy toads for release. The University of Wyoming Department of Zoology and Physiology’s Red Buttes Environmental Biology Laboratory will provide world-renowned aquatic facilities for this vital captive breeding. This collaboration ensures the production of sufficient toad numbers for release, simultaneously fostering research, teaching, and direct involvement in on-the-ground recovery initiatives, benefiting both the species and the academic community.

| Description: | The US Fish and Wildlife Service, Wyoming Ecological Services Field Office, has regulatory authority for the recovery of the endangered Wyoming Toad (Bufo baxteri). The Wyoming Toad is endemic to the Laramie Basin of Wyoming. The acquisition of Mortensen Lake National Wildlife Refuge and the enrollment of private lands within the Laramie Basin under the Laramie Rivers Conservation Districts Wyoming Toad Safe Harbor program have recently provided the Wyoming Toad with multiple recovery sites within its historic range. One of the new needs, therefore, of the recovery program is the ability to breed sufficient numbers of healthy toads for release at release sites. The University of Wyoming Department of Zoology and Physiology Red Buttes Environmental Biology Laboratory, provides a world-renowned aquatic laboratory to help ensure the Wyoming toad recovery program meets this need. The result of such captive breeding is expected to benefit both the goals and purpose of the Wyoming Toad recovery program and the University, including, but not limited to: Wyoming Toad related research, teaching, and opportunities to assist on the ground recovery efforts. |
