Challenge

Rural communities around biodiversity hotspots lack access to wildlife conservation education, a critical need for the preservation of unique species. Rediscovery of the Critically Endangered Lynch's Colombian tree frog in Santander after 35 years highlights the urgency. The Rana Chiva aims to inspire communities to protect the last habitats for frogs and other species found nowhere else on Earth.

Solution

Our fun, play-based education cultivates a passion for wildlife conservation in children. This inspiration prompts them to champion sustainable practices in their families, engage in grassroots conservation, and consider careers in wildlife conservation. Promoting community conservation around critical biodiversity hotspots is crucial for protecting the last remaining habitats for endemic frogs and countless other species facing extinction.

Long-Term Impact

The Rana Chiva's play-based education creates a lasting impact by nurturing a generation passionate about wildlife conservation. Children, inspired by our engaging methods, become advocates for sustainable practices, ensuring ongoing protection for endemic species. The ripple effect extends to families, communities, & the broader ecosystem, fostering a culture of conservation that safeguards biodiversity for future generations. Join us on the journey to build a sustainable & biodiverse Colombia!
