Despite the history mankind has had in the contentunintentional choking of your page here.nature, there still remains methods which can change the deathly outcome that has been predicted by decades of population trend recording. Some courses of action have already been put into place; for instance, several protected areas have been established in Panama. Along with this, Ex-situ (off-site) conversation measures are in effect to ensure the survival of the Harlequin Frog. But there is more that can be done than just consoling the wounded. We can assault the offender, fight to reduce the dangers which constantly harass the Harlequin Frog's population.
As far as pollution, we can strive to create more efficient systems and disposal methods. As their habitats become habitable once more, we can establish captive-breeding programs so that replenishing the habitats will be an easy leap.

Since the days of the Industrial Revolution, mankind has played the part of a virus, or more accurately, a parasite. We fed off the world around us, only to become more hungry, only to demand more food. As humanity consumed it grew, it grew to the point that other species were whipped away from existance; a few species vanishing just because their coats shined more than another.
Remember the tragedy of the white-winged moths in Great Britain. Remember how their method of survival, hiding aside white-barked trees, had been destroyed. Pollution coming from Britain's smoking spires coated the trees, turned them into columns of coal of which the moths beared no resembelence. And with that disastorous change, came the population decrease of the moths. Although the moths are now recovering, the darker variant of today shall never be the same as yesterday.

in danger. The major disease and threat known as chytridiomycosis has caused enormous population declines the Atelopis varius as well as other species sharing genetic simularities. To make that infection threat even worse, air pollution is believed to have tampered with these amphibians' skin, making them more acceptable to diseases spread by contact.
If a military commander had to determine the Harlequin Frog's situation, he would most-likely say that they'd been encircled, trapped, by the inevitability of death. Below are some of the things which pose a threat to the Harlequin's existance.
Urban Growth
Agricultural Development
Small-holder Farming
Agro-industry frming
Transportation
Roads & Railroads
Biological Resource utilization
Hunting
Dams
Landslides
Agricultural and Forestry effluents
Domestic and Urban wastewater
Acidic Rain

With the montane forests and humid lowlands they once favored as habitats disappearing, this terrestrial specie is most definitely in danger.
