In San Jacinto, Ecuador, local communities held their annual amphibian festival to celebrate their region’s rich biodiversity, including their beloved Coyne’s Harlequin Toad — a species considered a key indicator of ecosystem health. 

However, these toads are under threat. The gradual vanishing of harlequin toads from rainforest ecosystems since the 1980s is a warning of ecosystems out of balance. 

Thanks to disneyconservation, Re:wild and our partners from the #AtelopusSurvivalInitiative — centrojambatu and bioparqueamaru — are working with  communities to protect harlequin toads, the “jewels of the forests”, while raising awareness around the importance of healthy watersheds and forests for our shared wellbeing.
