This beautiful frog was captured by police in the Medellin airport. Smugglers were attempting to illegally export this frog to sell it on the black market for use as a pet far from its home in the forests of western Colombia. The frog now lives at Medellin’s Parque Explora, where it educates visitors about the threats to its species. These frogs are threatened with extinction due to exploitation for the pet trade. The species has a very small geographic range and could easily go extinct if we don’t actively work to prevent the illegal harvests. We encourage all frog lovers to boycott the trade of wild-caught frogs and be sure to read our pets webpage. With your financial support, SAVE THE FROGS! Colombia can educate the communities surrounding this frog’s habitat, to ensure they do not take part in the illegal harvests.
