CURRENT THREATS, STATUS, AND CONSERVATION
The greatest threat to the Fowler’s toad is habitat destruction. Disruption of breeding sites is very detrimental to their existence. Human interactions such as use of off-road vehicles may easily damage the habitat of this species. Another threat to this species is chemical pollution. The pesticides and fertilizers used for lawns and agricultural land may cause drastic declines in population in some areas.
Due to population declines and habitat loss, the Fowler’s toad was listed as a species of special concern in New Jersey. In 2016, the New Jersey Endangered and Nongame Advisory Committee recommended changing this species' status from Special Concern to stable within the state, but no formal rule proposal has been filed to date.
