This group of animals has become very important in the last
few years as bioindicators of climatic changes and the quality
of habitat. A preliminary census to determine some of the
species in the La Navarra zone (inside the reserve) has been
done by Dr. John D. Lynch, the highest authority in Colombia
on these species.
Completing the census and developing
specific investigations on the amphibians of the Río
Blanco reserve, as well as determining how to protect them,
is one of the jobs with high priority within the plan of action
of the Foundation.
