Does anyone on the forum know how the Agile Frogs on Jersey are fairing? I have read that there is one population and poossibly two and that they arent breeding too well - if anyone can shed a bit of light on the situation this would be great.

Posted: 31 Aug 2006 I understand that there were two remaining sites, but one was lost, to pollution I think. The last remaining population is holding on, thanks to a breeding programme (Jersey Zoo) and constant surveillance, and I believe that the breeding programme is/has attempted to introduce specimens to both old and new sites that are suitable for recolonization.
