There are six new species of rain Frog.
The new species were discovered in two national parks.
According to the scientists who discovered them, all six Pristimantis species were found within 20 km of a deforested area.
They said that they should be added to the red list.
There are more than 500 different species of Pristimantis frog that can be found in a wide range of places.

The latest discovery was made by a group of herpetologists from Ecuador.
The species resistencia was named in honor of all the environmental activists who were killed in Latin America.
More environmentalists were killed in Latin America than anywhere else in the world last year according to a report by Global Witness.
