A longnose harlequin frog (Atelopus longirostris) at Centro Jambatu in Quito, Ecuador. This animal is originally from Intag, Imbabura Province, Ecuador. Though listed as extinct on the IUCN red list, a few species were found in the wild in 2016 after more than two decades of zero sightings. At the time this photo was taken, in January 2019, there were only 4 known individuals, all at Centro Jambatu. This frog species is a keystone species in the fight against mining activities, specifically the Llurimagua mining project.
