#Repost @amphibianfoundation ・・・ Today marks one year since the Rabb's Fringe-limbed tree frog (Ecnomiohyla rabborum) officially went extinct. This event was marked by the death of the last known living individual, "Toughie", a handsome male that @frogsneedourhelp had the pleasure of working with for over twelve years. It is a sobering thing, witnessing the extinction of an entire species, and one that serves as the centerpiece for why we do what we do to make sure that other amphibians around the world do not suffer the same fate as this beautiful species. Toughie's legacy to serve as a reminder of the impact humans can have and the very real threat a huge portion of the world's species face today. Rest in peace, our friend. We honor him and all species lost by doing what we do every single day! #conservation #wildlife #education #toughie #rabbsfringelimbedtreefrog #ecnomiohylarabborum #thelonliestfrog #extinction #extinctionisforever #extinctionisnotanoption #frogsneedourhelp #animals #amphibians #AmazingAmphibians #ATLamphibians #georgia #atlanta #frogs #frogsofinstagram
