Ranita Dorada Amphibian Reserve, is the first amphibian reserve ever established and protects a unique forest for amphibians in the Cordillera Central of Colombia.
The Reserve encompasses an isolated wet subtropical forest fragment in a region dominated by coffee and pasturelands in the municipality of Falan, department of Tolima. The forest fragment was being cleared for agricultural uses in a region devoid of subtropical forest. The Reserve is the sole home to a large diversity of endangered amphibians, including two spectacular frogs; Swainson’s Poison-dart Frog (Ranitomeya doriswainsonae), and the Little Golden Poison-dart Frog (Ranitomeya tolimense) as well as other amphibian new to science and as yet undescribed.
