There are only two dendrobatid projects in the running? I'm sure all projects are worthy, just wondering how far afield the projects can run.

I didn't participate in frogday, but if I were to vote to support one of the things listed I would vote madagascar, even though I do not keep any species of mantellas. Mainly posted here because I wanted to bump this thread as I posted a "less important response" in another Science and Conservation thread that I feel is not as important as this.

Voted for the madagascar one. Not that I'm complaining, but I wish there was an option for O. lehmanni conservation...
