Ischnocnema manezinho
Ischnocnema manezinho Garcia, 1996
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...
