Soooo my question for everyone here is what should/can we do in the mean time to stop this problem from advancing and to stop other instances from occuring?

I know that there are some countries that have been quarantining areas to keep Chytrid from spreading to other areas. How affective that is I am unsure. Here's some sites on this issue around the world.

DPIW - Frog Disease - Chytrid Fungus

Panama Guide: Armageddon for amphibians? Frog-killing disease jumps Panama Canal

There are so many more. Zoos and private groups are collecting different species that are seriously threatened so they can start breeding programs and also various of other projects to help stop the spread.

Through Panama it has been advancing at a steady rate every year. The quarantine is to prevent it from being moved to areas ahead of this region..
