Jambato reclama justicia
Ecuador’s only surviving population of the jambato black toad, rediscovered in 2016 after being declared extinct, is threatened by a road expansion near Angamarca that conservation groups say has damaged its river habitat. In March 2026, a court ruled that the State had violated the species’ rights and ordered the work suspended until environmental safeguards were demonstrated; the Environment Ministry appealed, and a ruling was still pending after an October hearing. Conservationists say court-ordered repairs and protection measures for the toad’s habitat have not been implemented.
