The Neotropical Toad Genus Atelopus
30th Anniversary Collector's Edition
The Lasting Impact of a Landmark Publication
Widely regarded as the definitive reference on harlequin toads, this landmark volume remains, nearly three decades after its original publication, the only comprehensive monograph dedicated to the genus Atelopus. Out of print for more than 25 years and never previously reprinted despite sustained demand, it has become an indispensable resource for herpetologists, conservation biologists, museums, universities, and private collectors worldwide.
About the 30th Anniversary Collector’s Edition
To commemorate its 30th anniversary, this collector’s edition combines the original unchanged publication with a new chapter on updates, including an updated collection of historical and new photographs of more than 80 Atelopus species. Together, these images tell a remarkable story. Not only of the extraordinary diversity of one of the world’s most colourful amphibian genera, but also of its dramatic decline. Since the book was first published, many of the species featured have become Critically Endangered, while others have disappeared from the wild and are now feared extinct.
Only 500 copies of this anniversary edition will be offered, making it a unique collector’s item for anyone with an interest in amphibians, biodiversity, natural history, and conservation.
Every Book Supports Conservation
This publication is more than a reprint, it is a direct investment into the future of harlequin toads.
All net proceeds from the sale of this special edition will be dedicated to the conservation of Atelopus species in Latin America through Habitats. Funds will support in situ conservation and habitat protection through local conservation initiatives aimed at preventing the extinction of one of the world’s most threatened amphibian groups.
Only 500 copies are available for the price of 60€ per book, excluding shipping cost.
