The world’s largest frog, the goliath frog, is teetering on the brink of extinction, but one man in Cameroon is determined to save this unique amphibian. The goliath frog, also known as the giant slippery frog, is a colossal creature, reaching the size of a cat. Its rarity and cultural significance make it a treasure in Cameroon, but relentless hunting and habitat destruction have pushed it to the brink of endangerment.

Cedwick Fogwan, a devoted conservationist, has taken up the mantle to rescue these frogs from the precipice of extinction. Their survival is crucial not only for their intrinsic value but also for their role in maintaining the ecosystem by controlling crop-damaging insects.

Fortunately, Fogwan’s conservation efforts are yielding results. Former frog hunters have turned into “citizen scientists,” and various organizations are supporting initiatives like snail farming to provide alternative food sources for the frogs. With continued intervention and dedication, there’s hope that the goliath frog, a symbol of Cameroon’s unique biodiversity, can thrive once more.
