Keep South Carolina Wild
February 23, 2023
To continue celebrating the 50th anniversary of the Endangered Species Act, meet our next species of the month, the frosted flatwoods salamander. This species was listed as threatened in 1999 under the Endangered Species Act. They are endemic to the historically fire-adapted longleaf pine ecosystem and require open canopy pine savannas with wiregrass. In 2009, the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service designated 22,970 acres of protected critical habitat for the frosted flatwoods salamander.
