Photo by @jaime_culebras // This is the Longnose harlequin toad (Atelopus longirostris), a species that was missing for decades until it was rediscovered in 2016 in the northwestern of Ecuador, in a territory with a large-scale mining concession that was going to affect a primary forest with a high number of threatened species. Now, this Critically Endangered amphibian, together with the others, are celebrating with emotion that an Ecuadorian court has ruled that the rights of nature and the lack of environmental consultation in the territory were violated. The Ministry of the Environment granted the environmental license to the mining companies in 2014 after an Environmental Impact Study with clear signs of insufficiency. This time, nature has been heard.
