Ranita Dorada Reserve

The Ranita Dorada Reserve, Ranita Dorada Amphibian Reserve, or Reserva Ranita Dorada is a place in Colombia.  It is a piece of cloud forest where people may only use some of the trees and other things people could need so that the animals there can live without people.

History

Three groups, IUCN Netherlands, Dendrobatidae Nederland, and Conservation International and Netherlands Postcode Lottery, asked the government of Colombia to make the place into a reserve. They made the reserve in 2008. They asked so that two frog species would have a place to live: Andinobates doriswainsonae and Andinobates tolimense.

Animals
Many plants and animals live in the reserve, for example birds, mammals, snakes, and frogs.

These are some of the animals that live in the reserve:

Cochranella rosada
