Chile has launched a new effort to save the endangered Darwin’s frog, a tiny amphibian where males carry tadpoles in their mouths. The initiative aims to protect habitats, support breeding areas, and work with private landowners to expand the frog’s range, according to Reuters.

The species includes two types — one endangered and the other critically endangered and nearly extinct. Once found across southern Chile and Argentina, the frog’s population has sharply declined due to deforestation, climate change, and urbanization.

Officials and conservationists hope the move will boost awareness and restore fragile populations of this unique native species, Reuters reported.
