Introduction
The Foothill-Yellow Legged Frog (Rana boylii) is an amazing amphibian species that lives in and near rivers throughout California. The species is under threat from hydroelectric and water diversion projects that alter the river's water temperature, timing of floods, and streambed characteristics. Droughts in California exacerbate the problems for these frogs. Invasive American Bullfrogs prey on Foothill Yellow-Legged Frogs and compete with them for habitat and food.

Since 2010 SAVE THE FROGS! has been working to save these frogs via various campaigns described below. We appreciate your tax-deductible donation to SAVE THE FROGS!, which enable us to continue saving these beautiful creatures from the multitude of threats they face.
