The Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission finally approved to adding the striped newt to the state’s threatened species list.

Found primarily in southern Georgia and northern Florida, striped newt uses both wetlands and dry upland habitats that surround their breeding ponds. Fire is essential for maintaining habitat conditions for striped newts within breeding ponds and surrounding uplands. These breeding ponds lack predatory fish and allow the eggs and larvae to develop into their later life stages.
