Aquarium of the Pacific has released 1,000 mountain yellow-legged frogs since 2020, after the species' wild count fell below 200. The count tracks frogs put into streams, so the recovery it points to still has to show up as survival and breeding in the wild.
Reality
The Fish and Wildlife Service has rewritten what counts as killing a protected animal under the 1973 law, and the new test is whether someone meant to do it. The Interior Department confirmed the guidance to AFP.

A new definition of harm and the loss of automatic protection for threatened species could both change what a project on listed-species habitat has to clear. The interview flagging them never reaches the new wording.
Reality
Counting monarchs at one Florida site has gone on for more than three decades. Even so, a count still cannot say where any single butterfly went. Solar radio tags light enough to fly on a monarch have now returned the first individual trajectories.
Reality
The archive that pushed Smyley Island's founding back to at least 1989 also shows the colony re-forming beside grounded icebergs after a probable total failure in 2022. That re-forming pattern is awkward for projections that hold breeding sites still.

Michigan State and its partners scaled Poweshiek skipperling releases from 102 in 2022 to more than 1,300 in 2025. What that demonstrates, and what the account still does not report.
