Arroyo Toad (Bufo Californicus (=Microscaphus))
Arroyo Toad (Bufo californicus (=microscaphus)) 5-Year Review: Summary and Evaluation Arroyo Toad (Bufo californicus) Photo by permission of Will Flaxington U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service Ventura Fish and Wildlife Office Ventura, California August 2009 5-YEAR REVIEW Arroyo Toad (Bufo californicus (=microscaphus)) I. GENERAL INFORMATION Purpose of 5-Year Reviews: The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (Service) is required by section 4(c)(2) of the Endangered Species Act of 1973 (Act) to conduct a status review of each listed species at least once every 5 years. The purpose of a 5-year review is to evaluate whether or not the species’ status has changed since it was listed (or since the most recent 5-year review). Based on the 5-year review, we recommend whether the species should be removed from the list of endangered and threatened species, be changed in status from endangered to threatened, or be changed in status from threatened to endangered. Our original listing of a species as endangered or threatened is based on the existence of threats attributable to one or more of the five threat factors described in section 4(a)(1) of the Act, and we must consider these same five factors in any subsequent consideration of reclassification or delisting of a species. In the 5-year review, we consider the best available scientific and commercial data on the species, and focus on new information available since the species was listed or last reviewed. If we recommend a change in listing status based on the results of the 5-year review, we must propose to do so through a separate rule-making process defined in the Act that includes public review and comment. -
