Chiricahua Leopard Frog Recovery Plan	F	2	Arizona Ecological Services Field Office (602) 242-0210	Chiricahua leopard frog	Rana chiricahuensis	2	1.2.10	Work with AGFD, NMGFD, and FWS to evaluate if stockingof nonnative fishes impact extant populations or other recovery activities in MAs and amend stocking regimes as necessary.	Ongoing Current	FY 2011	FY 2021	U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service	Arizona Game and Fish Department, U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, Ecological Services, Phoenix and Albuquerque	Management, Management: Propagation, Management: Reintroduction, Management: Habitat Maintenance and Manipulation, Management: Predator and Competitor Control, Management: Population Monitoring	Species Expert, Internal Technical Assistance, Internal Field Assistance	FWS completed formal intra-service consultation with the Wildlife and Sportfish Restoration Program and AGFD on a ten-year sportfish stocking program. The Conservation and Mitigation Program (CAMP) was created and funded to implement conservation measures and recovery actions for Chiricahua leopard frogs throughout their Arizona distribution. A finding of non-jeopardy was made as a result of the CAMP strategy. Most fish being stocked are salmonids. Spiny-rayed predatory fish are being stocked in various lakes throughout Arizona that were found to adversely affect Chiricahua leopard frogs, as were other indirect effects of the proposed action. The BO is avaialble on the AESO website for review. Two additional BOs were completed with the Coronado NF for cold and warmwater fish stocking in Pena Blanca Lake. A suite of conservation measures is under implementation as a result of these consultations, specific to Pena Blanca Lake and a five-mile radius of the lake.

A few populations in Arizona are backed up in this manner, but disease is not as much an issue in AZ, so the need is not as great.
Chiricahua Leopard Frog Recovery Plan	F	2	Arizona Ecological Services Field Office (602) 242-0210	Chiricahua leopard frog	Rana chiricahuensis	2	1.2.14	Develop and implement a genetic management plan to maintain or enhance genetic diversity within each RU	Ongoing Current	FY 2008	FY 2012	U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service	New Mexico Department of Game and Fish, San Carlos Apache Tribe, White Mountain Apache Tribe, Phoenix Zoo, Arizona Game and Fish Department, Arizona-Sonora Desert Museum, U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, Ecological Services, Phoenix and Albuquerque, La Comisión de Ecología y Desarrollo Sustentable del Estado de Sonora, Technical Subgroup of the Recovery Team	Management: Planning	Species Expert	We don't have a genetic management plan, per se, but Herrmann et al. has evaluated genetic diversity range wide, so we have the information to manage genetics in terms of knowing which stock of frogs could or should be used for translocations in recovery units and MAs. We are awaiting a proposal from Hermann et al. to complete genetic analyses of the pipiens complex for future management implications, based on the result of this genetic mapping.
