Introduction

PHOTO

Leap into action this Save the Frogs Day on April 27! Frogs have been hopping around planet Earth for more than 200 million years, and now they need our help. This special day was first established in 2009 by Dr. Kerry Kriger, the founder and executive director of SAVE THE FROGS!, who identified the need for an international day to celebrate these wonderful amphibians and highlight the many threats they face. Now celebrated in over 60 countries, Save the Frogs Day is a day to appreciate the unique roles frogs play in the ecosystem, and commit ourselves to their preservation. Let's come together and keep our ecosystems hopping!
