Yes, the IUZN has listed them as endangered:
Agalychnis annae (Blue-sided Treefrog)
And they are protected by the CITES regulations. => In the European Union, you need a Certificate of Origin for you animals and shipping them across EU boarders is probably a lot of (CITES) paperwork.
But, as I mentioned before: They have been bred in the US in the last couple of years => there should be a stock of A. annae in the US. So, take care of this stock, that this species does not get lost again.
Thank you Leon for doing conservation efforts!!!! Best thing I heard on here in sometime now. Have you thought about keeping half the stock and keep on using them as breeders. That way you will have a larger stock to release in the long run rather than just one female??? If you need help with funding this project myself and others on here should be willing to step forward.
Thanks! i'm not even keeping one of them this time they will all be released in the wild, this because the population of A annae in this place is getting bigger now. You can see some pictures of the place here: http://www.frogforum.net/fieldwork/2...e-habitat.html i will try to go at night soon and take some pictures of the frogs. Good to see i'm getting support from people like you that's very appreciated but at this particular time the project with A annae is basically moving forward by itself. if you want to know something else you can ask me in the thread of A annae habitat as this is not even my thread haha.

I didn't know about the regulations, thanks for the heads up. I have been searching for several months and I have found a few people that have bred them in the US a few years ago, but for various reasons, none of those people have them (including breeding stock) any more. So if anyone is currently breeding them in the US please contact me. Thanks.
unfortunately, that easily can happen, when no one pays attention, that an species get's quickly extinct in the hobby.
Try to get in touch with Seth. He has bred Agalychnis annae beginning of 2011. Maybe he can tell you, to whom he has sold his offspring. I would try to motivate this people to bring a breeding group together. Here is the link:
