Duellmanohyla soralia

Critically endangered Red-eyed lichen frog (Duellmanohyla soralia) from Cusuco Natonal Park, Honduras, Central America.

 

Cusuco National Park is a unique cloud forest ecosystem located in the peaks of Honduras' Merendon mountains. Only 23,440 hectares in total size with more than half consisting of the buffer zone, the future of the parks reptiles and amphians is in jeopardy with increased habitat loss from encroaching unsustainable coffee farms. Exacerbating the problem, the amphibian chytrid fungus has high prevalence rates in some of the parks most endangered species.
