The deadly chytrid fungus has decimated numerous species of amphibians in recent years. San Diego Zoo Global has long supported the Panama Amphibian Rescue and Conservation Project to save frogs through biosecurity consultation and education. In Central and South America, 60 species of amphibians have been rescued and are being maintained in safe survival assurance colonies until a time when it is safe to return them to their habitat. Twelve of the most at-risk species have now reproduced in rescue centers, including the horned marsupial frog, crowned tree frog, and the Limosa harlequin frog.
