Other Interests: Saving frogs# About me
FROGS ARE DISAPPEARINGFrog populations have been declining worldwide at unprecedented rates, and nearly one-third of the world’s 6,418 amphibian species are threatened with extinction. At least 100 species have completely disappeared since 1980, and this is NOT normal: amphibians naturally go extinct at a rate of only about one species every 250 years!!!
THIS IS WHY FROGS ARE DISAPPEARING
Frog populations are faced with an onslaught of environmental problems: pollution, infectious diseases, habitat loss, invasive species, climate change, and over-harvesting for the pet and food trades. Unless these problems are remedied, amphibian species will continue to disappear, resulting in irreversible consequences to the planet’s ecosystems.
WHO WE ARE
SAVE THE FROGS! is an international team of scientists, educators, policymakers and naturalists dedicated to protecting the world’s amphibian species: the frogs, toads, newts, salamanders as well as the lesser-known caecilians. We conduct and fund scientific research that directly benefits amphibian populations. We also engage in educational activities aimed at increasing the public’s awareness of environmental issues to ensure that amphibian conservation becomes – and remains – a top priority for current and future generations.

You should check out this forum discussion going on. Its all about the frogs and I posted links to a da news flash about your seminars and there's some controversy and people thing that I am over exaggerating about the escalating decline of the frog species. I've said its not over night but they do not understand. I think this would be a good way for you to get in there and spread some info and gain some awareness. I not having much if any prior knowledge of the situation am not a good one to defend it.

I love amphibians and reptiles and it is alarming at the rate at which frog species are disappearing. What is more alarming is sharks though, a 90% decrease in numbers in the last 2 decades.
