As of today, I have reached my funding goal for this project. To all my backers and members of my community who have donated and shared this research, I can not fully express my gratitude to you all. Your generosity towards me and my research is overwhelming and enormously humbling. I can’t wait to share the progression of this progression with you all. So again, from the bottom of my heart and hearts of my salamanders, THANK YOU!!

The emergent fungal pathogen, Batrachochytrium salamandrivorans (Bsal), poses a significant threat to global salamander conservation. No research to investigate the ecology or prevent the spread of Bsal has been implemented in Central America. I am starting a research study that surveys the Costa Rican salamander community–5th most diverse in the world–for Bsal as well as tests the susceptibility of Costa Rican salamanders to the fungus in order to better inform future conservation planning.
