The Ark for Frogs – Protecting the World’s Most Endangered Frogs with Dr. Gina Della Togna

Description

The Ark for Frogs – Protecting the World’s Most Endangered Frogs with Dr. Gina Della Togna

The Ark at the Smithsonian Tropical Research Institute in Panama houses hundreds of large, captive communities of frogs, some of which no longer exist in the wild. Here, scientists hope to bring these species back from the brink of extinction and solve the world’s worst wildlife pandemic: an amphibian-killing fungus known as chytrid. Join Dr. Gina Della Togna, Executive Director of the Amphibian Survival Alliance as she details the work to preserve these magnificent creatures.

This is part of our Wild Hope series in partnership with HHMI Tangled Bank Studios.
