Staff from the Los Angeles Zoo, the Aquarium of the Pacific and the U.S. Geological Survey have released 653 endangered southern mountain yellow-legged frogs into the San Gabriel Mountains. The release is described as a major milestone for local wildlife conservation, boosting survival prospects for the declining California-native species Rana muscosa in its historic habitat.

Why now: A large-scale release of an endangered species is a rare, feel-good conservation success story.
