EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print captured by Jose Luis Saavedra, we are introduced to a young Rhinoderma Darwinii frog, commonly known as Sapito de Darwin or Darwins Frog. The image showcases the delicate amphibian resting peacefully on dry leaves at a breeding center in Concepcion University, located south of Santiago. The significance of this photograph lies in the fact that it portrays one of the first-ever Sapitos de Darwin born in captivity. This achievement is part of a pioneering project led by Concepcion University, aimed at reproducing and preserving these endangered frogs within controlled environments. The Sapito de Darwin is an exclusive inhabitant of southern Chile, stretching from Concepcion to Aysen city, as well as parts of Argentina. Its vulnerable status has raised concerns among conservationists and researchers who strive to protect its existence. Through this visually striking image, we gain insight into the tireless efforts being made to safeguard these unique creatures. It serves as a reminder that even amidst environmental challenges and threats faced by various species worldwide, there are dedicated individuals working towards their preservation. This photograph not only captures the beauty and vulnerability of the Sapito de Darwin but also highlights humanity's responsibility towards protecting our planet's biodiversity for future generations.
