Puerto Rican coquí frog documentary release

Overview

The documentary “Los coquíes de Puerto Rico,” directed by Sonia Fritz, is scheduled for theatrical release in San Juan. Based on 52 years of research by biologist Rafael Joglar, the film examines the ecological significance of various coquí frog species and the threats they face from climate change.

The production traces the relationship between the frogs and Puerto Rican culture from the Taíno era to the present, featuring footage from locations such as El Yunque rainforest and Mona Island. The film notes that of the 17 known species, three are extinct and five are critically endangered. Following its scheduled premiere, the 60-minute film is being screened at Fine Arts Popular and Fine Arts Miramar as an educational resource for biodiversity and conservation.
