The Amphibian Survival Alliance is highlighting an important article from Smithsonian Magazine about Andes glass frogs, amphibians known for their translucent skin. The article examines the challenges these species face in the Andean cloud forests and the critical efforts needed to protect their habitats as threats continue to grow.

This work also reflects the contributions of Jaime Culebras, an ASA partner and advisor, and the founder of Photo Wildlife Tours. Through photography and conservation-focused eco-tourism, Jaime has helped bring attention to the biodiversity of the Andes and the urgent need for its preservation.

We encourage you to read the full article here and to learn more about Jaime’s work through Photo Wildlife Tours here.
