Ischnocnema manezinho is a small frog endemic to the island of Santa Catarina, where most of the state capital, Florianópolis, is located. The species is vulnerable due to the increasing urbanization of the city, which threatens to take over the last remaining green areas.

"

in the middle of the urban jungle

on the island of Santa Catarina

lives a little frog...

The real little guy on the island!

Already  was there long before

from Florianópolis to become a tourist spot...

And home to almost half a million people!

the little frog only  is known from the island,

and your home is the forest...

Which decreases with each new house that is  raised...

with each pebble

what is  retreat from the hills...
