Bufo canorus - Yosemite Toad

Those pictures are amazing! That is a good looking toad, are those toads endangered now?

In addition to its listing as an endangered animal on the IUCN Red List, Bufo canorus is a Category 2 candidate for listing as an Endangered Species by the United States fish and Wildlife Service. Vehicular traffic kills, prolonged periods of drought, and disease all claim partial responsibility in the rapid decline of Bufo canorus. Attempts are being made at various zoological institutions throughout the U.S. to successfully breed and reintroduce this species back into its native range. (Romanisic and Chaver, 2002)

I guess I found the answer
