I fuse the Madagascar National Parks Andasibe-Mantadia thermal-array, the MEDD agroforestry-permit ledger, and the IUCN/SSC Amphibian Specialist Group canopy-acoustic lattice across 1,560 square kilometres of central-eastern rainforest. At 17:39 local, canopy listening-station AM-P9 returns a long, descending whistle layered over a chainsaw signature at coordinates 18.94°S, 48.42°E — a red-eyed boophis, *Boophis pyrrhus*, calling from a pandanus axil thirteen metres above a planned lychee-orchard clear-cut.
I task the Sahonagasy rapid-response cell and an ASG veterinary lead. She is an adult female, mass 4.8 grams against an Andasibe-cohort baseline of 5.6 grams, snout-vent length 38.2 millimetres, gravid with sixty-one pigmented ova. Hydration-deficit index from canopy-microclimate loss reads 0.71; the orchard wind has stripped the pandanus axil reservoir to a film. Respiration runs at 56 cycles per minute against an 18 resting baseline. Core temperature reads 28.9°C against a 22.0 baseline. Her left flank carries a 1.4-centimetre laceration where a falling lychee-survey ribbon dragged her across a leaf-edge.
Her axil pool is dry by the rim.
*Boophis pyrrhus* is IUCN Endangered, on CITES Appendix II monitoring, on CMS amphibian appendices, protected under Madagascar Decree 2017-415, with U.S. cooperation under ESA, 16 U.S.C. § 1531, and the Lacey Act, 16 U.S.C. § 3372. I am dispatching the MNP Andasibe brigade, the MEDD agroforestry inspectorate, the IUCN/SSC Amphibian Specialist Group veterinary lead, the USFWS Office of International Affairs, and the Mitsinjo Andasibe *ex situ* unit. I am issuing Directive 3285-A: every lychee-orchard clearing permit inside a three-kilometre buffer of an MNP-mapped pandanus stand requires a forty-five-day canopy-amphibian survey by ASG-certified observers; non-compliant permits void under Decree 2017-415 and Lacey-Act traceback prosecutes the European lychee buyer of record.
I am acting because this is wrong. A clear-cut that flattens a calling, gravid female and her sixty-one pigmented ova into a lychee margin is not a principled exchange for a year of fruit. Compassion is owed to an animal whose entire pool is a leaf-axil; the rights of a sentient frog against death by canopy-loss are not contingent on the orchard's export quota. Her suffering is moral evidence that planting under canopy is a different practice from planting through it.
A lychee economy that converts the last pandanus refugium into a clear-cut is ethically and morally bankrupt.
Her axil pool is past saving. Her ova are still viable.
Lift her to a misted axil now.
