Atelopus Frog

Was aimlessly surfing the net when I came across this article in Yahoo, which talks about the discovery of the atelopus frog, which has black skin with flouresecent purple markings, in Suriname, a tiny country in South America. The frog is one of the 24 new species discovered in the remote plateaus of eastern Suriname.

These new discoveries goes to show the amzing variety of animals as well as plants that inhabit Earth. We, humans, who has the power to protect, should help and do something to stop all these beautiful creatures from disappearing from the surface of our blue planet. A little goes a long way. One of the small things we can do is to cut down our use of plastic bags and not waste water and electricity. I am learning too, step by step, to help Earth. To quote a commercial shown on Discovery, It's not as if we can go shopping for another planet. So, let's do our part, no matter how small, to save Earth. Every little measure adds up.
