Panama's forests are falling silent.  A microscopic fungus is sweeping through the jungles of Central America, killing large numbers of amphibians with which it comes in contact.

But there is hope.  In the small village of El Valle de Anton, nestled in the crater of an extinct volcano, an international team of zoos and other conservation organizations is locked in a desperate race against time, attempting to safeguard threatened frogs, toads and salamanders from extinction.

 

Shot on location, Leap of Faith puts you on the front line of a scenic battleground with a team of conservation biologists as they struggle to save the golden frog, a cultural icon, and other native species.  The video tells the story of the El Valle Amphibian Conservation Center (EVACC), a project initiated by the Houston Zoo, and the dedication of biologists Edgardo Griffith and Heidi Ross to protecting amphibian diversity in Panama.
