LEGAL STATUS 



Federal: Endangered (Florida population only) 

 (43 FR 18109; 5 Apr. 77). 



REASONS FOR CURRENT STATUS 



The species occurs in small, isolated popula- 

 tions scattered along Atlantic and Gulf Coastal 

 Plains (relict distribution). Many of these sites 

 are undergoing rapid alteration, including 

 drainage, development and agricultural mod- 

 ifications. The resultant loss of habitat con- 

 stitutes the most serious threat to the Pine Bar- 

 rens treefrog.
