After 14 years without having been seen, several young scientists supported by the Conservation Leadership Programme (CLP), have rediscovered the Carrikeri Harlequin Frog (Atelopus carrikeri) in a remote mountainous region in Colombia.

The discovery of two frog species feared extinct has made a Colombian protected area the focal point for efforts to save amphibians from a deadly fungus. The fungus has covered Central and South America, decimating their frog populations.
