SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: We, the 

U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, 

announce the availability of the draft 

recovery plan for the endangered coquı ́

llanero (Eleutherodactylus juanariveroi). 

The draft recovery plan includes 

specific recovery objectives and criteria 

that must be met in order for us to 

remove this species from listing under 

the Endangered Species Act of 1973, as 

amended (ESA; 16 U.S.C. 1531 et seq.). 

We request review and comment on this 

draft recovery plan from local, State, 

and Federal agencies and the public. 

Background 

The coquı ́ llanero is a small frog 

species endemic to Puerto Rico. In 2007, 

it was described as a new species of the 

genus Eleutherodactylus, family 

Leptodactylidae. Males measure 

approximately 0.58 in (14.7 mm), and 

females 0.62 in (15.8 mm). It has the 

smallest clutch size of all 

Eleutherodactylus species on Puerto 

Rico, and a high-frequency call. The 

only population estimate available for 

the coquı ́ llanero indicates a mean 

population size of 473.3 ± 186 

individuals per ha (or 192 per ac; Rı ́osLo ́pez pers. comm. 2011). 

The coquı ́ llanero is currently known 

to be restricted to one freshwater 

herbaceous wetland in the municipality 

of Toa Baja, Puerto Rico. The 

herbaceous vegetation in the wetland 

consists of Blechnum serrulatum 

(toothed midsorus fern), Thelypteris 

interrupta (willdenow’s maiden fern), 

Sagittaria lancifolia (bulltongue 

arrowhead), Cyperus sp. (flatsedges), 

Eleocharis sp. (spike rushes), and vines 

and grasses (Rı ́os-Lo ́pez and Thomas 

2007). The species is currently 

threatened by the combined influences 

of urban development, activities 

associated with the operation and future 

closure of the Toa Baja municipal 

landfill, activities associated with 

clearing water channels for flood 

control, and invasive wetland plant 

species. Additional threats include 

restricted distribution and highly 

specialized ecological requirements, 

which may exacerbate other potential 

threats like landfill leachate pollution, 

the use of herbicides, brush fires, 

competition, and environmental effects 

resulting from climate change. 

Under the ESA, the Service added the 

coquı ́ llanero as an endangered species 

to the Federal List of Endangered and 

Threatened Wildlife in title 50 of the 

Code of Federal Regulations on October 

4, 2012 (77 FR 60778). The 2012 final 

rule also designated critical habitat, 

covering an area of 615 ac (249 ha), for 

the species. 

The recovery strategy for the coquı ́

llanero includes protection and 

management of occupied habitat and 

suitable unoccupied habitat for 

potential future introductions, and 

addresses immediate threats that led to 

its listing. Because of stressors like 

reduced geographic distribution, limited 

dispersal capabilities, and the species’ 

specialized breeding requirements, the 

species is likely to have reduced 

adaptive capacity. Therefore, in order to 

meet the recovery goal of delisting, we 

must increase the number of coquı ́

llanero populations. This strategy seeks 

to safeguard the only existing coquı ́

llanero population in case the species 

does not withstand or recover from a 

stochastic or catastrophic event. 

Section 4(f) of the ESA requires the 

development of recovery plans for listed 

species, unless such a plan would not 

promote the conservation of a particular 

species. Recovery plans describe actions 

considered necessary for conservation of 

the species, establish criteria for 

downlisting or delisting, and estimate 

time and cost for implementing recovery 

measures. Section 4(f) of the ESA also 

requires us to provide public notice and 

an opportunity for public review and 

comment during recovery plan 

development. We will consider all 

information presented during a public 

comment period prior to approval of 

each new or revised recovery plan. We 

and other Federal agencies will take 

these comments into account in the 

course of implementing approved 

recovery plans.

Recovery Plan 

The ultimate recovery goal is to 

remove the coquı ́ llanero from the 

Federal List of Endangered and 

Threatened Wildlife (delist) at 50 CFR 

17.11(h) by ensuring the long-term 

viability of the species in the wild. In 

the recovery plan, we define the 

following reasonable delisting criteria 

based on the best available information 

on the species. These criteria will be 

reevaluated as new information 

becomes available: 

1. Three viable * coquı ́ llanero 

populations demonstrate stable or 

increasing population trends (addresses 

Listing Factors A and E). 

2. Habitat for three viable coquı ́

llanero populations is protected in 

perpetuity through a conservation 

mechanism (e.g., land acquisition, 

conservation easements) (addresses 

Listing Factor A). 

3. Threats and causes of decline have 

been reduced or eliminated to a degree 

that the coquı ́ llanero does not need 

protection under the Act (e.g., 

developing management plans, public 

awareness and education) (addresses 

Listing Factor A and E). 

* The term ‘‘viable’’ is defined in the 

draft recovery plan. 

Request for Public Comments
