Introduction

Amphibian biologist Victor Acosta Chaves gave a presentation on “The Amphibians of Costa Rica: Diversity & Threats” for our April 25th, 2019 SAVE THE FROGS! Webinar. Amphibian enthusiasts from 16 countries attended Victor’s free online presentation featured amazing photos of Costa Rica’s amphibians and an abundance of information on their ecology, the threats they face, and ways to save them.

For your viewing pleasure, we have posted a video recording of Victor’s presentation below. Please do share it on social media or embed the video into your website. Enjoy!

A word of caution: attending this webinar may inspire you to join the SAVE THE FROGS! Costa Rica Ecotour, for which Victor will be serving as our amphibian guide.
