Fota helps three species avoid extinction

A frog called the mountain chicken (because it's hunted as food), a type of salamander and the Morelet's leaf frog are some of the species to avoid extinction thanks to Fota Wildlife Park in Cork.

The British and Irish Association of Zoos and Aquariums (BIAZA) has published a list of the top 10 reptiles and amphibians to benefit from the aid of its members in Ireland and the UK.
