The origin of our name

Boana Punctata is the name of an amphibian species native to the equatorial region of South America. This frog, whose name we have adopted, revolutionised knowledge about terrestrial fluorescence. 

Boana is the first known case of fluorescence in an amphibian. 

​

However, to humans, this original feature is invisible to the naked eye. We can only perceive its nocturnal glow through ultra-violet light. Their world cannot be grasped without expanding our knowledge and perceptions..

 

Boana reminds us that our societies' perception of the environment is often partial. Humility and openness are its teachings.
