The purple fluorescent frog, of the genus Atelopus was discovered during a follow-up survey of the Nassau plateau in mid 2006 by Surinamese scientists. The frog is one of 24 new species found in the South American highlands of Suriname, but like the Amazon pink dolphins, they are all threatened by activities (e.g. illegal gold mining) of human beings. via SN
