I know this thread is a couple years old now. but here's my input anyway.<br><br>Section 4.0, Recommendations for future actions - page 30-32<br>(<a href="http://www.fws.gov/cno/es/San Francisco Garter Snake 5 Year Review.FINAL.pdf">http://www.fws.gov/cno/es/San Francisco Garter Snake 5 Year Review.FINAL.pdf</a>)<br><br>In my understanding of the&nbsp;necessary&nbsp;proposed actions, the SF and SD Zoos will breed the 10 SFGSs imported from the Netherlands, and place the offspring on loan to other facilities through-out North America. &nbsp;Also, new holding facilities are to be put in place to protect wild SFGS &nbsp;(and most likely a few more of the local species), and to breed a head start program, while parts of the habitat go through a "burning regime" to kick start regrowth of grasslands and "early seral stage habitats". &nbsp;In other areas, fresh new ponds are to be built, and the levees and culverts from Pescadero Marsh are to be removed to reduce salinity. &nbsp;In my opinion, if we can get the funds to get these plans into action, this habitat will have a better chance of sustaining the San Francisco Garter Snake, as well it's primary food sources, the Pacific Tree Frog, the California Red-Legged Frog (also endangered, but with a habitat spanning most of California's coastline), and a possible Bullfrog introduction. &nbsp;Now, to just get rid of that Chytrid Fungus, which could have a negative impact on the Amphibian prey.<br>
