A critically endangered, female Pirre harlequin frog (Atelopus glyphus,) at the Panama Amphibian Rescue and Conservation Project. This is a project designed to establish captive breeding populations of frogs at risk of extinction from the frog-killing Chrytrid fungus.

This species is highly susceptible to the fungus, so it has been brought in for captive breeding.

A robber frog species (in the craugastor punctariolus series) at the Panama Amphibian Rescue and Conservation Project. This is a project designed to establish captive breeding populations of frogs at risk of extinction from the frog-killing Chrytrid fungus. Shown are a female (larger) and a male. This species is thought to be down to just two males and single female. Despite very intensive searches, the last wild individuals were seen in the wild in 2010.

This is a project designed to establish captive breeding populations of frogs at risk of extinction from the frog-killing Chryttrid fungus. This species is highly susceptible to the fungus and has declined through most of its range in central Panama, where it is endemic. This is the brown color form. It’s now extremely rare to see one in the wild.
