Puerto Ricans are rallying against a tourist's request to silence the croaking of coqui frogs, an endemic species vital to their cultural identity. The uproar was initiated by a Reddit post where a visitor sought ways to minimize the frogs' nighttime calls, labeling them annoying. Local residents expressed indignation, arguing this demand disrespects both their culture and the endangered frogs. As climate change and tourism threaten coqui populations, this controversy illustrates the clash between tourists and native wildlife, driving home concerns about over-tourism and the preservation of local identity.
If you don't like the sound of the coqui, get out of Puerto Rico.
The tourist appears to have deleted their account.
