Galaxy frog's microecosystems are very fragile, and tourists destroying them for cute photos aren't helping with species' survival.

![A marker, ink, and paint pen drawing of a galaxy frog on a rock, with a green background on which white hand-written text on the left describes their situation in basic terms.
“THE GALAXY FROG:
Or, Humans Ruin Everything.
Status: Tiny. Cute. Very, very rare.
Situation: photographers want photo $$$, go to frog habitat, stomp habitat, look for frogs. Grab frogs with BARE HANDS. Move frogs around to “good locations”.[1] Kill at least two frogs by handling for hours! [1]
Habitat trampled, frogs gone.
Frogs: stressed, missing, losing habitat to agriculture.*
This: Is why we can’t have nice things.
Humans: Don’t destroy habitat for pics!**
[1] Allegedly.
*Coffee, tea plants for humans.
**Stop. Just stop. I beg you.”
The frog is on the right, facing left in profile, very dark blue with blue/white spots all over, orange underside, very large, black, round eye. The rock is reddish-brown.

The galaxy frog has been covered a lot recently b/c of photographers who (allegedly) destroyed a vital habitat (link to story in comments).
Beautiful little forg. 🥺🐸
Photography can inspire care for wildlife - but it can also cause harm. Our new paper highlights how unethical photography threatens the Galaxy Frog, underscoring the need for ethical wildlife photography #galaxyfrog #wildlifephotography @zslofficial.bsky.social
