The birth of over 30 endangered Darwin's froglets at London Zoo marks a significant conservation milestone following a 7,000-mile rescue mission from their declining habitat in Chile. This species faces extinction largely due to the deadly chytrid fungus affecting amphibians. The recent emergency mission highlighted the urgency of protecting these frogs, who suffer from rapid population decline. Conservationists are now focused on creating safe spaces like the zoo while collaborating to ensure the long-term survival of Darwin's frogs, as their native forest home remains compromised by disease.
