Save the Frogs Day

In honor of Save the Frogs Day, we'd like to introduce some of the frogs who live in Paso del Istmo, Nicaragua.

The poison dart frog (Dendrobates pumilio) is a resident of the eastern edge of the Paso del Istmo biological corridor where we are restoring habitat from cattle pasture to humid tropical forest. It is listed as near threatened by the IUCN.

The red-eyed tree frog (Agalychnis callidryas), which prefers tropical dry forests, is also found throughout the Paso del Istmo corridor. This picture is courtesy of Wikipedia.
