Mississippi Couple's 20-Year Land Restoration Enables Release of Nearly 500 Rare Frogs

Jim and Laura Currie have spent more than two decades restoring their land in Mississippi. They partnered with conservation organizations to protect the endangered dusky gopher frog. In June 2026, they released almost 500 captive-bred frogs onto the restored property. Monitoring will continue to track how the frogs adapt to their new habitat.
