Link in bio to learn more! 📖 This gripping story returns to the cloud forests of Costa Rica where the Golden Toad was last seen in the wild in 1989. The book follows the Ritland brothers—guided by naturalists, biologists, and local experts—on an expedition that was the first to ever return to the spot this species was potentially seen two years after it was thought to have gone Extinct.
