"N.E. zoo joins research effort against frog-killing fungus" by Associated Press | May 12, 2009
WASHINGTON - Zoos in the US, Panama, and Mexico are deploying researchers in Central America to develop new ways to fight a fungus blamed for wiping out dozens of frog and amphibian species as part of a project announced yesterday.
Scientists say the chytrid fungus threatens to wipe out a vast number of the approximately 6,000 known amphibian species and is spreading quickly. Already, 122 amphibian species are believed to have gone extinct in the last 30 years, primarily because of the fungus, conservationists say.
Must we have the alarmism here, too?
