New Costa Rican frog threatened by pesticides
A new species of tree frog has been discovered in Costa Rica. It lives among coffee trees in mountainous areas and is characterized by its small size, not exceeding 4 centimeters, nocturnal activity, and dark green coloration. This species relies on small insects for its nutrition, and it is believed that its natural habitat extends beyond the agricultural zones, as it has also been observed in locations far from coffee plantations. Although coffee trees provide a suitable environment, the use of pesticides in these areas poses a risk to this species, as toxins can seep into the aquatic environments it relies on during its developmental stages. The discovery highlights the importance of studying how pollutants affect biodiversity in the region, especially since amphibians are highly sensitive to environmental changes.
