The species is critically endangered, but is still fished and consumed. Scientific advice to European Agriculture and Fisheries Council, meeting December 10th-11th, is a zero-catch policy

Researchers from Poland, Spain and Canada analyse changes in hair stable isotope composition. These are “markers” that can track changes in the environment. Changes observed during 66 years can be related to the use of fertilizers and the raising global temperatures

These values are slightly below average for these dates. The areas with the greatest flooding are El Rocío and los Sotos.
The recovery of the Santa Olalla lagoon is slow, with only 9,6% of its surface area flooded.

Its genetic and morphological differences from other known toad species have led to its recognition at the genus level

The new species’ presence suggests we may need to rethink the evolution of Kenya’s amphibians
