The largest threat to mantella frogs and most Malagasy wildlife is habitat destruction, usually in the form of deforestation. Slash and burn agriculture has...
I agree with Devin's point about education. I can't give enough money to save much of any rainforest, but if I can get 50 people in my life to be passionate...
