Peoiect Narratiue Gomo Zoo wil[ utiiize this Legacy Amendment Arts and Cuitural Heritage grant for the development of a Frog Conservatian ezhibit. As Como's mission is io inspire our public to value the presence of iiving things in our lives and a main value is educating on canservatian. One half to one third. of aii amphibian species are threatened with exfinction due to habitat loss, climate change, pollution and pesticides, introduced species, wiid animal collection and masf urgentEy, a parasitic fungus called amphibian chytrid, a deadly disease that is rapidiy eradicating amphibian species throughout the planet. This represenTs the greatest species conservation challenge in our hisfory. 10-720 Como's new frog. exhibit will feach and inspire guests about one of the greatest and most urgenf ccnserva6on undertaKings ever; the preservation oE frogs and amphibians. Why do frogs matter? Whai most pe�ple do no# recagnize is thaf frogs are an importan# part of a healthy environment. They cantroE pest insect populations that damage agricufture and spread diseases. These amazing creatures are sentinel animaSs and are among fhe first species #o be impacfed by contaminanis in tfie environment. Some fro� species have been used with great success in the advancements ot medicine ta hetp heal the sick. Proiect Descrintian Como Park Zaa and Conservatory witl develop a frog exhibit.fhat will feature four threatened frog species and use the exhibits as a way to touch our guests. an our conservation actions as weil as educa#e. These fourfrog exhibits wi1! be presented in Como's Children's Galiery and will incorpora#e living animals, piants and interactives geared for youth visitors. The frogs and conservation efforts thai wilE be highlighted include: Panamanian Golden Frog - Due to the glo6a! amphibian crisis, Como staff is participating in the management and husbandry of five species of frogs endemic to the Ceniral American country of Panama as part of the Chytrid. Fungus Recover Plan. Zoakeepers at Como Zoo have successfully bred Panamanian Gotden Frogs, L�mur Tree Frogs and Glass Frogs. Some of the resulting offspring have been donated to other AZA institu#ians. Wyoming Toad - Como Zoo has paired up with the US Fish and Wildiife Service (USFWS) to assist witfi fhe Wyoming Toad Recovery Project. Wyoming toads are (isted as endangered. In 1996, the USFWS partnered wifh the Association of Zoos and Aquariurris (AZA) to deveEop a captive-breeding program as weif as to reclaim toad habitats. Since then, thousands of tadpoles have been released into protected arsas. AI#hough the popuia#ion seems fo be increasing, the USFWS has not been able to systematically monitor the release sites to determine the success of the project. But this changed in 2008. Como Zoo has been part o# a team visiting Laramie to join the USFWS and other AZA zoos to conduct surveys. Using GPS units, volunteers sef up transecfs (a designated pieae of land) around Lake Mortenson and began to took for toads. in each transect, they were given an allotted period of time to look for taads. When a toad was fiound, volunteers toak its phofo, and then measursd, swabbed for chytrid, weighed, sexed and tagged it. Tagging is the placement of a microchip, just like the ones used in pe# cats and dog�. By tagging a toad, it can be determined if this was an animal that was caught before. lf it was, a history of the animal can be deve{oped. Vofunteers afso took an assessment of the environmentaf conditions, such as the wind, sun and what type af vegefation fhe toads were found. Roison Dart Frogs - Poison dart frogs, also cafled poison arrow frogs, ars so named because some Amerindian tribes have used iheir secretions to poison their darts. These frogs are found in Colombia along the western slopes af the Andes. in 1999 a Zoo pathologisf published his discovery of a then=mysterious infection thaf was afflicting and evenfually kiiling poison arrow frogs and whfte's tree frogs. Through his effort, cutaneous chytridiomycosis was documented for the first time as a vertebrate parasite. 10-720 Comn PaMZaoardCOnsarlC.0.y Legaq Fina�bmani Fr,s v:tl CuRwal HeriWre Grani Page 3 ot5 The veterinarians aiong with keepers and pafihologists aiso developed a treatment for the chytrids. Camo Zoo has been working on conservation and breeding programs far tfie Poisan Dart Frog, along with the treatment of this parasite. Tropical Tree Frog – Due ta habitat loss, these small creatures are running the risk of becoming extinct. These animals are the most important part of our ecosystem. For exarrrple, they consume large quanfiiies of insects and other prey, and in turn they are consumed by other animals, in endless food webs of raintorests. Just because they are such vitat chains in the ecosystems they belong to, and due to their overall sensitivity, frogs are considered an indicatar species - the species that can act show environmental change or ihe change in an ecosystem's heaith. The "indication" for us humans to note here 'ss that such environmenta4 change affecting the trop+cat frogs can atso affect many other species o# animals including ourselves.
