Back in the United States, Ron and Carolyn went on to raise five sons and found several Internet businesses over the years.Today Golden Frog stands for online freedom, privacy and security, and embodies the same passion and freedom as in 1970 when Ron and Carolyn first discovered the Golden Frog Coffee Bar. They would have been found in rain forests and cloud forest streams. While the global amphibian crisis is the result of habitat loss, climate change and pollution, the deadly amphibian chytrid fungus plays a large role in the disappearance of this and other species.
Through our products and our advocacy, we continue to fight for causes we believe in and to support groups fighting for these important causes.In 1999, Smithsonianâs National Zoo scientists working with a researcher from the University of Maine described a new fungus that causes the skin disease chytridiomycosisÂ.The mission of the Panama Amphibian Rescue and Conservation Project is to rescue and establish assurance colonies of amphibian species that are in extreme danger of extinction throughout Panama â including two species of the golden frog. The Panamanian Golden frog (Atelopus zeteki) we are told, has become extinct in Panama The frog is widely believed to have been totally wiped out by the chytrid fungus (Batrachochytrium dendrobatidis)which is an infectious skin disease affecting frogs all over the world.Although called a 'frog' it is in fact a 'true toad'. The Panamanian Golden Frog is a Critically Endangered species of frog that is natively found in the tropical rainforests of Panama, often close to a fast-flowing water source. The body is slim with long limbs, and the upper surface is smooth with minute spicules. They have two facilities in Panama, the Gamboa Amphibian Research and Conservation Center at the Smithsonian Tropical Research Institute and the El Valle Amphibian Conservation Center at the Nispero Zoo, which cares for 12 endangered species including both varieties of the golden frog.Research efforts focus on searching for a cure or applied solution to the amphibian chytrid problem that will allow them to reintroduce golden frogs back into the wild. Although they are classified as critically endangered it is believed that the species may have been extinct in the wild since 2007. This involves researching why some individuals survive from an infection with Bd while others do not, which has yielded some promising results thus far.Â,You can learn more about the scientific efforts and methodologies, as well as whatâs been successful so far, on the Amphibian Rescue Projectâs official website:Â.Among all the good causes out there, there are several reasons we choose to support the Panama Amphibian Rescue and Conservation Project:As part of our partnership we made an upfront donation to the Panama Amphibian Rescue and Conservation Project. Switzerland,Panama Amphibian Rescue Conservation Project,SCBI scientists Brian Gratwicke and Rob Fleischer are working with Smithsonian post-doctoral fellow Matthew Becker to determine if itâs possible to predict which frogs will survive exposure to the chytrid fungus simply by analyzing a skin swab.
While travelling through Central America after their service they stopped in Panama, where they visited the Golden Frog Coffee Bar.
