    About This Project

    The Western Toad is one of Utah's most at-risk native species, threatened significantly by a deadly disease called chytrid fungus. There are major gaps in our knowledge about the range of this disease in Utah, which populations are most affected, and why survival varies. To fill that gap, we will visit toad habitats across the state, collect skin swab samples, and build the first statewide map of where the fungus exists, giving wildlife managers the information they need to protect Utah's toads.
