I watched that video, thats crazy and amazing, but at the same time very sad.

I just watched (and DVR'd) the program.
It was great. It gave me hope that captive programs and re-introduction can work!! but chytrid and habitat destruction are the real problems to solve!

Also... if Panama is so infested with Chytrid, how does this effect our hobby with regard to "panama farm raised" animals that come in every year?

That was a very good show. I loved it, it was sad but that shows people that we have to work together and keep these amazing creatures alive.

The show was great, and SCARY! I really hope they improve the situation with that black and yellow frog from Australia. It sure was a pretty frog, in a dire situation.
