In recent years, however, scientists have noted that the spread of the fungal disease has put added strain on many species of amphibians and so discovering any wild populations that appear to have developed an immunity may help other species at risk.Researchers at Colombia’s Magdalena University and El Dorado Nature Reserve found the two rediscovered frog species on a research trip funded by the Darwin Initiative and the National Environmental Action Fund.El Dorado is the sole breeding ground of the endangered Santa Marta parakeet and is home to five threatened amphibians which are found nowhere else in the world..

One reason is a fungal disease, chytridiomycosis, which is thought to have spread rapidly over the past 50 years because of the global trade in African frogs for research.Neither of the rediscovered frog species was infected with the disease, raising hopes that the species can be saved in the newly protected area, according to Conservation International, a non-profit organisation based in Washington DC.The fungus has been found as close as 25 miles away on the other side of the Sierra Madre mountains, and scientists studying the frogs hope to learn how they have avoided the infection.”It’s a race against time to prevent chytridiomycosis from wiping out amphibian populations, but now we have discovered what appears to be healthy populations of these endangered species,” said Claude Gascon of Conservation International. It contains an extraordinary number of species which are found nowhere else but was going to be developed as a tourist resort until it was afforded protection earlier this year.Frogs, toads, newts and salamanders – the amphibians – are as a group suffering a greater rate of extinction than any other class of animals. The area is one of the highest coastal mountain ranges in the world, rising from the shores of the Caribbean Sea to almost 19,000 feet. Scientists said it was the first time in 14 years that anyone had seen the two endangered animals and the sightings raised hopes that other species of amphibians feared to have succumbed to a fungal infection had survived.
The two frogs – the Santa Marta harlequin frog and the San Lorenzo harlequin frog – were found by biologists working in the El Dorado Nature Reserve on the north-west slope of the Sierra Nevada de Santa Marta massif, on the Caribbean coast of Colombia. Two rare species of tropical frogs that were thought to have gone extinct have been rediscovered in a remote forest region of South America that was destined to be developed for holiday homes.

This show is ‘Father Knows Best’ on steroids,” he says.The season finale of ‘Run’s House’ airs on MTV at 7pm on Sunday, repeated on MTV Base, 10pm, 13 June. “There’s nothing to regret, and I wouldn’t consider myself to be a total holy man,” he says “I abide and pray a lot and do the best I can But it wasn’t like we were the craziest group. We always had good messages in our music and we were pretty well respected We weren’t trashing dressing rooms. I’m not perfect – I’m not even perfect on the show.”Run’s brother Russell Simmons is less understated: “The world needs Rev Run to show his reality He’s hip-hop grown up. Run was charged with raping a college student in Ohio in 1991 although the charges were later dropped But he is philosophical about the past. His WoWs, as they’re referred to, are broadcast on various US radio stations and e-mailed to several thousand private subscribers and friends, among them Kid Rock and the X-Men 3 director Brett Ratner, who insists: “I won’t shoot a scene until I read Rev’s Words of Wisdom in the morning.” Ratner cast Run in a small role as a janitor in Red Dragon, starring Anthony Hopkins.Run-DMC may have been the acceptable middle-class face of rap, but they certainly had their moments.

“Poverty should never have been a virtue and whoever came up with it, it was a misunderstanding, but they preached it so hard. I don’t see how it can be a virtue, because sickness isn’t a virtue, and being impoverished – that’s not a good thing either,” he insists.Run recently published Words of Wisdom, a collection of personal “daily affirmations of faith”. “Bishop Jordan rejuvenated my life and predicted unimaginable business success,” recalls Run, who later expressed his gratitude to Bishop Jordan with a $325,000 Rolls-Royce Phantom.Born Joseph Simmons and educated at a Catholic school in Queens, New York, Rev Run will never be described as your traditional man of the cloth, and he is no believer in poverty as a virtue. Bursting on to the scene in 1983 with the classic single “It’s Like That”, the trio followed through with hits such as “My Adidas” and “Christmas in Hollis”. And they famously collaborated with Aerosmith on an audacious remake of “Walk This Way”, which became the first Top 10 single in hip-hop history.But by 1991, the hits had dried up and Run was dealing with depression and weight issues when he met Bishop Jordan, founder of a newly formed non-denominational Christian church called Zoe Ministries. I won’t tolerate any cussing from my children, and they respect that.”The show also serves as a valuable marketing tool for his fledgling solo career, Run-DMC’s 19-year union having officially ended in 2002 with the murder of the group’s DJ Jam Master Jay (Jason Mizell). The best way to combat that is to always be in your children’s business,” says Run.”I make sure that none of this goes to their heads by dealing with them face-on We go to church and have constant meetings.
