SA fungus could wipe out island frogs
A group did some tests and found no traces of BD (chytrid) in Madagascar. Many may find it surprising that this is a bad thing. If traces were found, it would mean it naturally belongs there and the local species would have evolved with it and been naturally immuned to it. Since it not there, it means if the fungus ever works its way into the environment, it will be certain death for many of the already endangered species. Lets keep our fingers and flippers crossed that this island stays the pristine paradise it has always been.
