Eighty of the 96 known harlequin toad species are considered endangered, critically endangered or extinct in the wild, according to the International Union for Conservation of Nature's Red List.
In fact, eighty of the 96 known harlequin toad species are considered endangered, critically endangered or extinct in the wild, according to the International Union for Conservation of Nature's Red List. Thirty-seven of these species have not been seen since the early 2000s, despite efforts to track them down.
According to Valencia, the toad is likely poisonous given that all harlequin toads—which features striking black and white markings—have toxins in their skin.."They live along creeks in mountain forests with low humidity, in one of the driest areas of the Sierra Nevada de Santa Marta." "We manage our resources and conserve our home as the law of origin dictates, which means that we live in balance with Mother Earth and all of the life here. Now we have a great opportunity to bring together two worldviews for the protection and preservation of the Sierra species: the Western scientific knowledge and the indigenous scientific, cultural and spiritual knowledge," he said.
