Project Goals
In response to the declines and disappearances of Golden Frog populations, a group of concerned biologists convened and formed Proyecto Rana Dorada/Project Golden Frog (PGF), a conservation consortium among scientific, educational, and zoological institutions in the Republic of Panama and United States. PGF is a proactive conservation initiative whose single, simple goal is to ensure the survival of one of the most well known, culturally significant, and charismatic amphibians in the world. Therefore, it is our expectation that this species holds the potential to rally public support for amphibian conservation throughout the Neotropics.
The expected outcomes of this project are:

greater understanding of the species biology of the golden frog
direct, coordinated conservation effort by governmental agencies and non-governmental organizations
heightened awareness of current global amphibian declines
greater respect among Panamanians and global citizens concerning wildlife
greater land preservation for threatened and endangered species throughout the world.
Our efforts will fall into four main areas:
education
field studies
captive propagation
financial support
