Scientist in Bolivia are in a five year race to save the Seheuncas Water Frog from extinction.

Only one animal is known to be alive, a male named Romeo, in the Cochabamba Natural History Museum, Bolivia. At 10 years old, there are as few as 5 years to find another specimen before they possibly go extinct. If another can be found, they plan to set up a breeding programme.

Upon, googling the Seheuncas Water Frog, no results come up. Is it a little known species? Or just goes by another common name? Cannot find its Latin name either.

Yes, just saw this and immediately remembered reading about this last year!

Captive Breeding looks like the way toward.

Wonderful news :)
