Public awareness and education have been integrated into the project wherever possible.
Examples include the following:
This bilingual website has been an easily accessible method for disseminating information about the species, project, and materials such as the husbandry manual.
Many training opportunities have been created for US and Panamanian students and AZA zoo/aquarium staff in field techniques.
Many training opportunities have been created for US and Panamanian students and AZA zoo/aquarium staff in field techniques.
Exhibit graphic panels for the species as well as the amphibian chytrid fungus have been developed and installed at two zoos in Panama.
A classroom curriculum was developed and in 2003 a golden frog conservation workshop was offered to school teachers in Panama by members of PGF/PRD in order to educate school-age children (In Spanish)

Amphibian chytrid warning flyers explaining how to clean field gear and equipment were created and posted in areas where the fungus was found to help minimize the spread.
Preserved frogs from the captive colony were distributed to over a dozen museum collections in the US so future researchers will have access to specimens once the species no longer exists in the wild.
