🐸 Millions of years of evolution have culminated in the careful balance of life atop Venezuela’s vertical steep-edged tepuis. But the effects of #climatechange threaten to disrupt this balance, especially for the unique frogs that live here and feed from carnivorous plants. 44 of 49 of Venezuela’s amphibian species that are at a greater risk of extinction as the result of climate change live at the top of these tepuis, according to the second Global Amphibian Assessment. Follow the link in bio to learn more about the amphibians living at the top of Venezuela's Lost World. #SaveAmphibians 📸: 1.) Oreophrynella quelchii from Roraima. Photo Javier Mesa 2.)
