00:12Las sociedades indígenas que habitan en Puerto Rico
00:15tenían una relación muy intimate con los amfibianos, ¿verdad?
00:24Están siempre entendidos por ser conectados a la agua,
00:27y, por lo tanto, también están asociados con la fertilidad.
00:35We know que los amfibianos son bioindicatorios,
00:38biológico indicatorios que nos muengan la salud del ecosistema.
00:43Hay una especie de cambio.
00:44Los primeros a ser afectados son los coquis, los frogs.
00:51De todos los animales del mundo, los amfibianos son los más afectados.
00:57Already in Puerto Rico, because of climate change,
00:59we lost three species and our studies indicate
01:02that at least four species are highly threatened in a critical state.
01:19The mona coqui is the only amphibian on the island
01:23and we won't see it in other regions.
01:28This one from Mona has always worried us
01:30because amphibians are not, right?
01:33They aren't very successful in dry places like this,
01:36so having an amphibian species living in a forest
01:39as dry as this is something wonderful.
02:08There are nights when this forest is almost deafening
02:10because of the amount of songs you are hearing at that moment.
02:15It shows you how incredible these forests are
02:17and all the things that happen while we are sleeping in our homes.
02:32That is how my island sounds when I'm flying in.
02:36I want to leave you to sing.
02:40I want to leave you to sing.
02:42I want to leave you to sing.
02:45¡Gracias!
