Lo que fue (What is gone)
A poignant reminder how climate change is affecting the delicate rainforest ecosystems. This sign was displayed within the Monteverde Cloud Forest.
"Only fifteen years ago at this spot you could hear the sound of frogs. Do you hear any today?
This cloud forest and all its magic is being transformed at an accelerated rate, and some of its inhabitants have not been able to adapt to such rapid change. This is what happened to the legendary Golden Toad. In 1987, more than a thousand individuals were observed, but by 1989 only a few individuals were found.
None have been seen since.
It was here in Monteverde where it was announced to the world that "Climate change has a direct relationship with the disappearance of species""
