Ultimately, the success of this conservation program hinges on long-term captive breeding and sustainable reintroduction, but public education and environmental awareness are essential if the species is to make a comeback. There is a new frog lab under construction on Dominica, financed with U.K. support. This new facility may serve as a local breeding center or a transit stop for animals returned to the island from breeding programs elsewhere. RSCF holds the majority of U.S. frogs in Loxahatchee, Florida (owned by the Dominican government), and manages a smaller group in St. Louis, MO, where Dr. Jay King, RSCF Research Associate, practices veterinary medicine.

RSCF is committed to recovering the species as part of a broad-based partnership with Dominica to conserve the Nature Island's biodiversity. This comprehensive program evolved from a focused effort to research and protect Dominica's endemic parrots, the Jaco (Amazona arausiaca) and Sisserou (A. imperialis, Dominica's National Bird). Along the way, RSCF helped establish the Morne Diablotin National Park, the world's first new national park of the millennium (Jan. 2000), and continues to help expand protected areas and protective wildlife policies while researching Dominica's fauna and flora. RSCF is proud to work shoulder-to-shoulder with the Forestry, Wildlife and Parks Division to ensure the Nature Island's wildlife and wild places for future generations.
