AMNH scientists Jay Cole and Carol Townsend, the University of Guyana and the Smithsonian Institution surveyed the remote Konawaruk Mountains of Guyana in the late 1990s. Access into pristine forest is often best done using boat camps, such as here along Berbice River. Species new to science abound, such as a new species of tree frog. Unfortunately, this region shares the threats faced by much of the world: habitat destruction, climate change and disease. Future monitoring of these frogs requires a baseline inventory to serve as a reference.
