Somewhere above the sandy beach flies a hunter looking for a meal. perhaps a fish, perhaps a crab or an unsuspecting human!

A draw over of a photograph. There was a bird present originally and I tried to replace it as realistically as I could manage. I think the result came out looking pretty decent. It is a bit older work

@rnzbot_political What a strange half-article to be headlining the #RNZ website, since it summarises ACT’s new policy without giving any historical context or conservationists’ views.

I accept that game animals like deer are a valued resource in NZ and there need to be places to hunt them. Still, that cannot be the whole country. There are plenty of well documented and often massive impacts that deer, goats, tahr, and chamois have on the native species they eat, and many of these species are threatened and declining.

ACT is proposing that the government funds that are currently used by the Department of Conservation to manage games animals while protecting biodiversity all be given to the Game Animal Council for managing game animals nationally.

I’m reminded of comedian Guy Williams’ New Zealand Today piece about tahr management. Tahr numbers ballooned under hunter-led management from the target national herd size of 10,000 to more than three times that. The Department of Conservation (in the previous government) had to step in and started culling tahr to bring their numbers back down, yet there was then an outcry from hunters.

Most of NZ’s conservation land needs to be managed primarily for conservation. It makes sense to do that in collaboration with the Game Animal Council, as is done now. ACT’s policy to flip this around sounds like a recipe for extinctions.

Savage’s Glass Frog Centrolene savagei

Savage’s Glass Frog Centrolene savagei

Locations: Endemic to Colombia, found in the Cordillera Central and Cordillera Occidental mountain ranges in the departments of Quindío, Risaralda, Caldas, and Valle del Cauca, between 1,400 and 2,410 metres above sea level.

Perched on delicate leaves above rushing mountain streams, Centrolene savagei is a rare frog of wonder. The Savage’s Glass Frog, also known as the Savage’s Cochran Frog has translucent emerald skin that shimmers under moonlight, revealing a celestial map of organs and veins. These appear like a tiny universe of stars glowing beneath their skin. This remarkable adaptation serves as camouflage, allowing them to blend seamlessly into their misty rainforest habitat. Male frogs fiercely protect a clutch of around 30 eggs while females gather food. Tragically these magnificent #frogs face mounting threats from #deforestation for #palmoil #soy #meat along with #climatechange which is disrupting the delicate balance of their cloud forest home. Protecting the cloud forests of #Colombia is essential to ensuring their continued survival. #BoycottPalmOil #Boycott4Wildlife.

Savage’s Glass #Frogs of #Colombia 🇨🇴 have skin 🤯 that glows like sparkling stars 🌌 Males fiercely guard egg clutches. #PalmOil #Soy and #Meat #Deforestation are threats. Help them and be #Vegan 🥕🍆🌴🪔⛔️ #Boycottpalmoil #Boycott4Wildlife @palmoildetect https://wp.me/pcFhgU-a8R

Savage’s Glass Frogs 🐸 live in the cloud #forests of #Colombia 🇨🇴 and face threats from the #pet trade and #agriculture. Their see-through skin protects them from predators. Help them survive and #Boycottpalmoil 🌴🪔🧐🚫 #Boycott4Wildlife @palmoildetect https://wp.me/pcFhgU-a8R

https://youtu.be/EliqG8RsZCA

Appearance & Behaviour

Savage’s Glass Frog is an exquisite amphibian with skin so translucent that their inner organs are visible, glowing like a hidden constellation beneath a veil of green. Their slender limbs end in sticky, webbed toes, perfectly adapted for clinging to leaves in humid forests. Their wide, golden eyes, speckled with flecks of black, provide keen night vision, allowing them to detect predators and prey under the dim glow of the forest canopy. At night, they call softly to attract mates, their gentle trills merging with the sounds of the rainforest.

Threats

Savage’s Glass Frog (Centrolene savagei) faces numerous threats that are rapidly altering their cloud forest habitat in the Colombian Andes. A study by Prado-Sañudo et al. (2020) found that the species was absent from certain locations where they had previously been recorded, suggesting population declines may already be underway. Conservation efforts must prioritise protecting Colombia’s cloud forests from further degradation.

Palm Oil and Soy Monoculture

Large-scale agricultural expansion for palm oil and soy plantations is devastating Colombia’s biodiverse rainforests. These monocultures replace native vegetation with single-crop plantations, destroying the undergrowth and streamside vegetation that Centrolene savagei relies on for shelter and breeding. As forest cover disappears, humidity levels drop, making their microhabitats drier and less suitable for egg development. The clearance of forests also leads to soil erosion, which can result in sedimentation of the clear mountain streams where these frogs lay their eggs.

Cattle Ranching

Extensive cattle ranching in the Colombian Andes is another major driver of deforestation. Forests are slashed and burned to create pastures, reducing available habitat for Centrolene savagei. The removal of trees along waterways destroys vital breeding sites, while cattle compact the soil, disrupting the natural flow of water and increasing erosion. The destruction of riparian zones reduces the availability of suitable egg-laying sites, directly impacting the frog’s ability to reproduce.

Illegal Pet Trade

Centrolene savagei is at risk of being targeted by the illegal pet trade due to their striking appearance and rarity. Glass frogs are often smuggled and sold internationally to collectors who seek out exotic species. This illegal trade removes individuals from wild populations, reducing genetic diversity and making the species more vulnerable to extinction. Additionally, captured frogs often suffer high mortality rates due to stress, improper handling, and unsuitable captive conditions.

Climate Change and Extreme Weather

Rising global temperatures are altering the delicate climatic conditions of Colombia’s montane forests. Extreme weather events, such as prolonged droughts and intense rainfall, are becoming more frequent. Droughts can dry up the small streams where Centrolene savagei reproduces, leading to egg desiccation and failed breeding seasons. Intense storms, on the other hand, cause flash floods that wash away egg clutches and displace adult frogs. Long-term shifts in temperature and precipitation could also disrupt breeding cycles and reduce the availability of insect prey.

Pesticides and Pollution Runoff into Rivers

Agricultural chemicals, including pesticides and herbicides used in large-scale farming, often wash into nearby streams and rivers. Centrolene savagei, like many amphibians, has highly permeable skin that makes them exceptionally sensitive to toxins. Pesticide exposure can lead to developmental deformities, weakened immune systems, and increased mortality rates in both tadpoles and adults. Additionally, runoff containing fertilisers can trigger algal blooms, depleting oxygen levels in the water and further degrading their habitat.

Geographic Range

Savage’s Glass Frog is endemic to Colombia’s Andean cloud forests, occupying both the Cordillera Central and Cordillera Occidental. They are found in humid montane forests, clinging to vegetation near fast-flowing streams where they breed and shelter.

Diet

These frogs are insectivorous, feeding on a diet of small invertebrates, including flies, moths, and spiders. Their sticky tongues enable them to snatch unsuspecting prey with precision, while their nocturnal hunting habits help them avoid daytime predators.

Mating and Reproduction

Male Centrolene savagei play a vital role in protecting their offspring. They guard egg clutches laid on leaves overhanging streams, keeping them hydrated by absorbing water and transferring it to the eggs with their bodies. This parental care reduces embryo desiccation and shields them from predators. Once the eggs hatch, the tiny, transparent tadpoles drop into the water below, beginning their journey to adulthood.

FAQs

Why do Savage’s Glass Frogs have transparent skin?

Their translucent skin serves as an advanced form of camouflage. By reflecting the colour and light of their surroundings, they can evade predators more effectively. This adaptation, combined with their nocturnal habits, makes them exceptionally difficult to spot in the wild.

What are the main threats to Savage’s Glass Frog?

Deforestation for agriculture and human expansion poses the greatest risk. As forests are cleared, populations become isolated, making it harder for them to find mates and maintain genetic diversity. Additionally, climate change could alter their delicate montane ecosystems, impacting their breeding success. The illegal pet trade is a growing risk as these beautiful frogs are sought out for private collections reducing their populations in the wild.

Do Glass Frogs Make Good Pets?

No, glass frogs— including Centrolene savagei—do not make good pets. Keeping them in captivity is not only unethical but also contributes to their decline in the wild. These frogs have highly specialised habitat needs that are impossible to replicate in captivity. They require pristine, high-humidity cloud forests with access to flowing, oxygen-rich streams for breeding. Even small environmental changes can stress them, leading to illness and death.

Beyond the difficulty of caring for them, removing Centrolene savagei from the wild is a major conservation issue. Every individual taken for the pet trade weakens wild populations, reducing genetic diversity and making the species more vulnerable to extinction. Many glass frogs die in transit due to improper handling, dehydration, and stress. Others perish in captivity because of unsuitable conditions or lack of knowledge about their complex dietary and breeding requirements.

If you truly care about these remarkable amphibians, the best way to help them is to never buy wild-caught glass frogs and to actively speak out against the exotic pet trade. Instead, support habitat conservation efforts and help protect the fragile ecosystems they depend on. #BoycottWildlifeTrade #BoycottPalmOil #Boycott4Wildlife

What makes Savage’s Glass Frog unique?

Their combination of transparent skin, nocturnal behaviour, and dedicated male parental care sets them apart from many other amphibians. The ability of males to hydrate and defend their eggs is a rare adaptation that improves their offspring’s chances of survival.

Are Savage’s Glass Frogs endangered?

More research is needed to determine their current population trends. However, habitat destruction and population declines in certain areas suggest that conservation efforts are needed to ensure their long-term survival.

Take Action!

Colombia’s cloud forests are disappearing at an alarming rate, threatening the survival of Centrolene savagei and countless other species. Protect their habitat by supporting indigenous-led conservation initiatives and refusing to buy products linked to deforestation. Use your voice to demand stronger environmental protections and share awareness about the importance of preserving these fragile ecosystems. Every choice matters.

What good are #TreatyRights if the fish are poisoned?

Monday, July 14, 2025
By George Ochenski, Daily Montanan

"By virtually any measure, the #ConfederatedSalishKootenai Tribal Nation is an incredible success story against all odds. Forcibly removed from their homeland in the Bitterroot Valley, despite not having waged war against the white settlers or army, their own '#TrailOfTears' brought them to the Flathead Valley to live within the boundaries of the vastly reduced lands they retained in the #HellgateTreatyOf1855.

"Although the #HellgateTreaty is widely regarded as one of the best treaties signed by any of the nation’s #IndigenousPeople, even land supposedly reserved for the exclusive habitation of the #SalishKootenai was opened to purchase by non-tribal #settlers by the #DawesAct of 1887.

"The act’s intentions were to allocate reservation lands the tribes already owned to individual families as private property and, as part of the 'civilization' of #NativeAmericans, it required tribal members to register with the federal government to receive their 'allotment.'

"The entire debacle was part of the #AllotmentAndAssimilationEra from 1887 to 1934. Simply put, the federal government’s plan was to force Native Americans to be 'assimilated' into #EuropeanAmerican culture.

"Importantly, any reservation lands not allocated to tribal members was deemed
'surplus' land and opened to purchase by non-tribal settlers. This excursion into #ReservationLands was further exacerbated by the ability of tribal members to sell their allotment parcels to non-tribal members.

"The fracturing of the Salish-Kootenai’s tribal lands through sales to non-tribal members continues to cause serious problems today, including the long and on-going battle to retain their #water, #hunting and #fishing #TreatyRights.

"Article III of the Hellgate Treaty could not be more clear regarding the Tribe’s fishing rights: 'The exclusive right of taking fish in all the streams running through or bordering said reservation is further secured to said Indians; as also the right of taking fish at all usual and accustomed places…'

"Yet, just last month the Confederated Salish-Kootenai Tribal Nation issued a very serious warning to tribal members regarding the fish they have treaty rights to catch because they are poisoned.

CSKT Fish Consumption Advisory

"The Confederated Salish and Kootenai Tribes issued a fish consumption advisory on June 24, 2025, warning tribal citizens not to eat fish due to the presence of Polychlorinated biphenyls (#PCBs), #dioxins and #furans at levels deemed unsafe for humans: Source: Confederated Salish and Kootenai Tribes

"The #FishConsumptionAdvisory urges 'all tribal members to avoid consuming all species and sizes of fish harvested from the lower Clark Fork River from the Bitterroot River near Missoula to the Flathead River near Paradise. Recent testing has confirmed the presence of polychlorinated biphenyls, dioxins and furans in fish at levels that are unsafe for consumption by Tribal peoples. It is also advisable to avoid consuming rainbow trout and northern pike harvested from the Bitterroot River and the upper Clark Fork River above the Bitterroot River to Rock Creek, and, to avoid consuming rainbow trout from the Blackfoot River.

"As the Advisory explains: 'These contaminants pose a health risk to all fish consumers, and an even greater health risk to the most sensitive members of the Tribal population including women of child bearing age, pregnant nursing women, and young children. These contaminants have been linked to negative health effects in the immune, and nervous systems and may be associated with birth defects…PCBs and dioxins are classified as probable and definite #HumanCarcinogens, respectively.'

"So what good are treaty fishing rights if you can’t eat the fish because they’re poisoned? Are they really 'rights' — or is this just another in our nation’s long and shameful history of abrogating its treaties with Native Americans?

"Moreover, #Montana’s poison fish affect us all. Just as our government has failed the Salish-Kootenai, they have likewise failed to uphold our rights to the 'swimmable/fishable waters' guaranteed by the #CleanWaterAct — because no one, tribal or non-tribal, is immune to poisoned fish."

Fallow deer rut is coming, so I went out and did some archery target practice this afternoon.
