Guys,
Please read below and see the attached link for a herp conservation project that we can all make a major difference to by making a small contribution. Many of the beautiful herlequin frogs have become extinct in recent years. This species, amongst a host of other closely related species, are likely to disappear when chytrid fungus moves through. Please check out the link and forward it to your friends so that this realistic taregt may be achieved.

Atelopus glyphus, the Pirri harlequin frog (http://apps.facebook.com/causes/sharings/300526?m=e09cd333))inhabits the highlands of eastern Panama and adjacent Colombia. This species is considered Critically Endangered by the IUCN because of the predicted arrival of amphibian chytrid fungus within the next 5 years and scientists are fairly certain they will be successful with this species in captivity because of previous husbandry research conducted at the El Valle Amphibian Conservation Center. Preventing the imminent extinction of the Pirri harlequin frog from will cost $53,000. That amount includes $41,000 for the facility and $12,000 for the first year of operation.
