I spend a lot of time depressed about the future we are leaving to the next generation. But every now and then I get a dose of hope.
Enter the Hula Painted Frog.
It's not extinct. Like millions of other species on the planet its not extinct. This wouldn't seem like a big deal, lot's of species are not extinct.
But the Hula Painted Frog was declared extinct in 1996.
And now we know that we were premature. Cases like this make me happy we were wrong.
The Hula Painted Frog is still critically endangered, with a surviving habit of less that 2 square kilometers. But rehydration of its historic range may change that and may help this species bounce back.
Life is surprising. Life is tenacious. Life does not give up without a fight. Learn from the Hula Painted Frog, and keep fighting- even if everyone else is convinced you're already dead.
