London Zoo breeds 33 endangered Darwin's froglets, aiming to save them from chytrid fungus.

Conservationists have successfully bred 33 endangered Darwin's froglets at London Zoo after a rescue mission from Chile, where the species faces a 90% population decline due to chytrid fungus. Parent frogs were transported to a biosecure habitat at the zoo, and the film "A Leap of Hope" will document the rescue and conservation efforts. Researchers aim to breed more frogs and study potential treatments for the fungus to eventually reintroduce the species to its native habitat.
