| Project Golden Frog |
| Feed the Frogs Campaign |
| A deadly fungal disease, called chytrid, appeared in Panama while the El Valle Amphibian Conservation Center was still under construction, and forced conservationists to take drastic measures to save the country’s endemic frog species from certain extinction. Hundreds of individuals were brought into captivity and required round the clock care and feeding. |
