Regular listeners to the show know that in addition to game species, NDOW is also tasked with management of every other species in Nevada, including animals as diverse as bats and frogs. On today's show, learn about one of Nevada’s big successes with a non-game species. The Columbia Spotted Frog was proposed for listing under the Endangered Species Act, but Nevada avoided the listing in 2015. Today Edwin talks all about it with Chad Mellison, from the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, and Teri Slatauski, NDOW diversity biologist out of Tonopah.
