Date: 2019-02-22

Jewels of the Neotropics, a production of Poison Dart Frogs, The Documentary Project, is a conservation testimony  that  gives voice to a peculiar family of amphibians of Central  and South America:  poison  frogs (Dendrobatidae).  Through  reflexive  images  and   inspiring interviews  with people who are actively fighting against their threats  (Otonga Foundation, Jambatu Center,  Wikiri,  Cali Zoo  and  the  Costa Rican Amphibian Research Center), this film wants to rise consciousness about how human activity  (illegal mining and subsequent water pollution, deforestation, livestock, illegal trade...)  is  really  damaging  these  unique species.  By  showing  initiatives  that  are  already  having  a  positive  impact,   this  story constitutes a reason for hope for a better future.
