It was a great privilege to finally see golden frogs walking in their rightful place 20 years since their disappearance amphibianrescue.org/golden-frogs... #amphibianresilience #ranadorada
Hire Dino for stuff! You will not regret it.
Hope returns to Panama's rainforests - read about how we rediscovered endangered frog species in Panama using acoustic recording www.smithsonianmag.com/blogs/nation... #amphibianresilience by @briangratwicke.bsky.social
Thanks Dino for helping to share our story, and Melina’s photos are 🧪🔥
Thanks to @dinograndoni.bsky.social and photographer Melina Mara @washingtonpost.com for this great piece supported by the Pulitzer Center covering our efforts to mend broken tropical frog populations and their importance to human health #amphibianresilience #anfibioresiliente

In biblical times, frogs were seen as a plague
Today, thanks to new research, we know they’re actually guardians against disease 1/5
As a frog-killing fungus swept Central America, scientists saw a remarkable chain of events
With fewer tadpoles to eat mosquito larvae, rates of mosquito-borne malaria climbed 2/5
The discovery is part of a new area of research in which ecologists and economists find hidden ways many plants and animals — including wolves, bats, birds and trees — underpin human well-being
They are learning that without saving nature, we can’t save ourselves 3/5
Read the full story here, as Melina Mara and I go around Panama talking to frog and mosquito researchers as well as everyday Panamanians who have had malaria 4/5

A neat story about our translocation efforts to restore Pratt's rocket frogs to one of Panama's National Parks @mongabay.com #AmphibianResilience #AnfibioResiliente news.mongabay.com/2025/10/in-p...
We are collaborating with Goncalo Rosa from IMIB Biodiversity Research Institute (CSIC) and Zoological Society of London (ZSL) and Julie Dogger from University of Amsterdam to see if treating mesocosms with antifungals can boosts survival of lemur leaf frogs.

Our release trials for Agalychnis lemur tadpoles are going swimmingly. More than 90% survival to metamorphosis so far! #amphibianresilience
Caecilians are the legless amphibians, they are rarely seen due to their fossorial habits, so moments like these are very special. This yellow headed caecilian was found in Gamboa Panama behind @amphibianrescue #amphibianresilience
Got to see my first Sylvia’s tree frog last night #cruziohyla what a spectacular frog! ❤️❤️❤️🐸🇵🇦
Nice feature in nature on Anthony Waddle's work with the frog sauna chytrid mitigation for green and golden bell frogs in Australia www.nature.com/articles/d41...

People LOVE their tungara frogs, its nature's lullaby in Latin America.

Check out our new research published in Diversity and Distributions modeling the high resolution seasonal changes in chytrid fungus and intensity in Panama - thanks to the many collaborators who shared data to make this work possible amphibianrescue.org/scientists-u...
Happy Golden Frog Day from our awesome collaborators at JacanaJacana www.youtube.com/watch?v=Lwxz... #AmphibianResilience
Some of our recently released captive-raised Crowned tree frogs 1) sporting a radio transmitter! 2) with Nate who built artificial tree hole for them 3) Jennifer who cares for this captive collection and reared the juveniles for release.
Meet some amazing #frogs at risk of extinction that we are breeding in captivity #biodiversityday #conservation 🧪

Edna to find rare frogs in Panama 🐸🇵🇦❤️👏https://wildlife.org/can-edna-track-down-rare-frogs/
Teratohyla spinosa a tiny little glass frog with a little call #panama #biodiversity #conservation #herpetology
Nice little dink frog (Diasporus diastema) calling love the sound track of nature at night. #amphibianweek #frog #herpetology 🧪
One of the great privileges of this job is that we to run into some other cool creatures while doing field work #herpetology #Panama #helmetediguana
Our intrepid team setting up mesocosms in Panama for some tadpole release trials lead by our collaborator Gonçalo Rosa from IMIB Biodiversity Research Institute.

How about an Andinobates geminisae?
