I’m off to a conference shortly, so this will be brief.
In an effort to raise awareness about the plight of amphibians (see previous posts on ConservationBytes.com regarding drivers of amphibian extinction risk and over-harvesting frogs for human consumption), the mob at SaveTheFrogs.com have initiated ‘Save The Frogs Day’ for tomorrow (28 April 2009).
I encourage people to get involved – there are some particularly good ideas for teachers and students found at the dedicated ‘Save The Frogs Day’ website.
I recently gave a talk entitled ‘Global Amphibian Loss – Bellwether of Environmental Degradation’. You can download the PDF of the PowerPoint presentation here http://bit.ly/A1dGw
