Good news!

The salamander #chytrid fungus (Batrachochytrium salamandrivorans, #Bsal), that is causing massive mortality of #salamanders in Europe, was not detected in an intensive survey of wild North American #amphibians!

Read the complete study here: nature.com/articles/s4159… Through intensive survey efforts, a collaborative team of over 35 researchers led by the USGS Amphibian Research and Monitoring Initiative and USGS National Wildlife Health Center has found no detection of Bsal across the US and one site in Mexico.

Sign and share this petition requesting that 1) all mining concessions be removed from protected forests in Ecuador, and 2) Reserva Los Cedros be incorporated into the nearby Cotacachi-Cayapas Ecological Reserve

@CenterForBioDiv @SynchEarth

bit.ly/2W1qLrG The highest court in Ecuador has agreed to hear a precedent-setting rights-of-nature case brought on behalf of Reserva Los Cedros, a biodiversity hotspot.

But mining concessions illegally granted by the government in 2017 now put 6 million acres of this area at risk.

A new research found that water rats in Western Australia adapted to hunt the highly poisonous toads less than two years after the toads moved into the rats' territory.

Follow the thread to learn more: phys.org/news/2019-09-h… "The rats, which can grow to over 1kg, are the only mammal found to specifically target large toads, neatly dissecting the toads to eat their hearts and livers while avoiding the poisonous skin and glands".

“When people tell me that I’m a hero because I save frogs, I tell them no, the frogs are the heroes for holding on. My actions are my message to the world: these species are dying and we can and we must do something about it", Andrés Charrier says. bit.ly/31OqGYQ The critically endangered Loa frogs need all the support they can get. Don't forget to share this Loa post with #savetheloafrog and #SalvemosLasRanitasDelLoa to urge the Chilean government to create protected habitat for these important amphibians!
