Toughie, we hardly knew ye.
It’s unfortunate that this frog species is now extinct, but I wouldn’t term it a ‘crisis’. This is part of the circle of life and death. All that has been created will one day be gone in the form you now see it. Eventually, we too as homosapiens will be gone in our present form.
Many speculate that within a few decades, there will be an immersion of biologic and technological properties to produce what will then be called a Human Being. Not quite a $6 Million Dollar Man, but maybe a $2 Million Dollar Man, capable of communicating with , and living with similar beings.
99.9% of all species that ever inhabited this planet are extinct....life goes on.
Millions of species went extinct before we knew what they were.
It is the height of arrogance to think that humans can prevent extinction when that just might be nature’s plan.
Which reminds me to ask; Why are Frenchmen sometimes called
‘Frogs’?. This is not a riddle. I’m just wondering where that came from.

I’ll alert the media.
It seems to me he lived his life like a candle in the wind...
I had a toad that frequented my flower garden; he appeared for 5 or 6 years in a row. I noticed this year, there was no sign of him. BooHoo.
Bad year for frogs, I guess.
I was singing bye, bye, Miss American Pie...
