Save the Frogs Campaign
“Frog populations have been declining worldwide at unprecedented rates, and nearly one-third of the world’s amphibian species are threatened with extinction. Up to 200 species have completely disappeared since 1980, and this is NOT normal: amphibians naturally go extinct at a rate of only about one species every 500 years! Amphibian populations are faced with an array of environmental problems, including pollution, infectious diseases, habitat loss, invasive species, climate change, and over-harvesting for the pet and food trades. Unless we act quickly, amphibian species will continue to disappear, resulting in irreversible consequences to the planet’s ecosystems and to humans.
Celebrate Frogs and Join a Nocturnal Walk
Join the Toucan Rescue Ranch as the moon rises and the rescued nocturnal wildlife awake. In this unique Educational Walk, you will have the opportunity to experience incredible wildlife such as kinkajous, wildcats, porcupines, opossums, two-fingered sloths, owls, and unique insects such as moths, spiders, beetles, and fireflies, not to mention frogs (dependent on season)! During the green season, accompany your guide as they show you tadpoles, frog eggs and the possibility of discovering leopard frogs, glass frogs, and giant toads! Yet, the really special attraction is the endemic golden-eyed tree frog, which is a critically endangered species, who calls Toucan Rescue Ranch a home. Walk around the property with animal safe headlamps and enjoy this wildly unique and fun walk. This Educational Walk is perfect for those looking to learn more about what lurks at night in the foothills of one of Costa Rica’s largest national parks: The Braulio Carrillo. In cloudless sky nights, you may also be able to enjoy a night full of stars.
