The world is facing an unprecedented loss of species and habitats; frogs are not immune to these problems and they are very sensitive to environmental changes. A decline and disappearance of amphibian populations has been clear over the last decade. Consequently estimates of overall biodiversity as well as genetic diversity must be undertaken immediately and comprehensively to understand the diversity of frogs. These comprehensive analyses can only be successfully accomplished through international cooperation and collaboration. Toward this end we have established collaboration with several colleagues.
