The Problem
I want to protect the coquí frog population in Puerto Rico from becoming extinct. From 17 known species of this little frog, 3 are already extinct. The coquí frog is part of our culture. It is a national symbol. It also controls the mosquito population that threatens our health transmitting diseases like dengue and chikungunya. The coquí species are endangered by excessive deforestation, forest fires, and by different predators that feed on this little animal.
