A deadly fungus – amphibian chytrid fungus – is breeding at an alarming rate in Panama's cloud forest. And now the Panamanian golden frog is threatened with extinction. What can be done to save this amphibian species?




And the Panamanian golden frog isn't the only amphibian species in danger – one third of all amphibians are now threatened with extinction. There is no known solution to stop BD from spreading, so researchers are working diligently to study its patterns before numerous amphibian species disappear from the planet forever.
