Recovery of the San Francisco Garter Snake
Cummings M. 2010. Recovery of the San Francisco Garter Snake. National Park Service
The future of the strikingly colorful endangered San Francisco garter snake is threatened by loss of habitat and prey species, as well as the introduction of non-native bullfrogs. The San Francisco Garter Snake Recovery Plan— a collaborative effort of the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service and several other organizations initialized in 2004—addresses the threat of increasing urban development while researchers continue to develop new protection strategies in an ongoing effort to assure the survival of this species.
