The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (Service) is withdrawing a proposed rule to reclassify the arroyo toad from endangered to threatened under the Endangered Species Act. New information gathered through a scientific, peer-review process shows that populations have not stabilized, have declined in some areas, and that the toad still faces the threat of extinction.
