Atelopus sp.

With the sad news of the Rabbs' fringe-limbed tree frog (Ecnomiohyla rabborum) extinction, I'll be posting some of the critically endangered amphibians I've seen in the wild. According to the IUCN Red List, one third of the 6,260 amphibian species assessed are globally threatened or extinct. As sad as the news is, I'm optimistic for the future of amphibians because there are many great people and groups out there fighting for them.
