Panama Amphibian Rescue and Conservation Project

The Panama Amphibian Rescue and Conservation Project is a collaborative effort to protect Ecuador's endangered amphibians, especially frogs, from threats like habitat loss and disease. The project collects eggs and tadpoles from the wild to breed them safely in controlled environments. This preserves their genetic diversity and helps prevent extinction. Once their habitats are safer, the amphibians can be reintroduced into the wild. The initiative also researches diseases like chytridiomycosis that threaten frog populations and promotes habitat conservation. Overall, it aims to ensure the survival of these unique and vital species through science, captive breeding, and habitat protection.
