nun fasting to save South Korean salamander

A friend sent me this story regarding a nun in South Korea fasting to save several endangered species including a rare salamander. [view Yahoo! News article] [view YONHAP News article]

The species most probably mentioned in this article is Fischer's Clawed Salamander or Long-Tailed Clawed Salamander, Onychodactylus fischeri. This species is considered threatened in South Korea. An excellent reference on this species can be found on Global Amphibian Assessment.
