The future of the endangered Arroyo toad of California lies in the hands of the federal courts.
The Arroyo toad of southern California has been getting a lot of attention with John Roberts’ nomination to the high court. Roberts wrote about the “hapless” toad in a controversial opinion. It’s not the first time the toad landed in court and it won’t be the last. Ilsa Setziol from member station KPCC in Los Angeles reports that a series of legal battles may determine the fate of this fragile amphibian.
