The project also seeks to confirm the presence and evaluate the state of conservation of nine KBA-trigger amphibian species (Centrolene lemniscatum, C. muelleri, Hyloxalus aeruginosus, H. mittermeieri, Pristimantis cuneirostris, P. infraguttatus, P. karcharias and Telmatobius colanensis) that are categorized as insufficient data by IUCN. And contribute to science through publishing findings in scientific journals.
