Kihansi Spray Toads were thought extinct in the wild after new local infrastructure changed their native environment detrimentally. Disease additionally exacerbated the threats that the population faced. CPSG brought together vital organizations and researchers from around the worlkd in this conservation effort, facilitating the creation of a plan to reintroduce the population in Tanzania. In 2010, the first group was brought from Bronx and Toledo zoos to their homeland. Captive-bred toads were continuously released from a newly-created breeding facility. Researchers monitored the population’s and ecosystem’s responses to the conservation efforts.
