2008: Year of the Frog Campaign

[BlackSymphony94]

All those frogs and reptiles are so beautiful, it makes you appreciate nature, something we must do.. Very beautiful and educational..

[cozzycovers]

habitat destruction? lol NO! Every heard of Chytridiomycota, Evolutions a bitch buddy :)

[merumontanus]

@cozzycovers Evolution is a gradual process, and the spread of the chytrid fungus is being helped in great part by rapid globalization and the pet trade. Expecting so many species of specialized amphibians to adapt to the sudden threat of a fungus (spread by human activity) in just a few years is to misunderstand the very definition of evolution.

I liked it up until it made the BS claim about climate change.

amphibians r like my fave animals especially frogs

[ray1taylor]

I keep frogs and newts and look forward to getting many more in the future when I am older but I would give it all up if it meant saving the wild population of amphibians.

[ray1taylor]

frogs are the best.

We have these little green tree frogs that surround our home and they are so cool. I can go out and count 10 or more on my house in the summer. Sometimes they get in the house and head straight for the shower. My wife is afraid of them and when they share the shower she freaks then I am the one to save the poor little froggy. I collect him and set him back outside and all is well one hearing impared frog back to work eating bugs. My kind of friend.

save the frogys wOOt

[pilitametalrocker]

sii quisiera ayudar pero no se como :( e leido sobre un hongo muy peligroso para ellos de hecho voy a exponer sobre este. pero me parece que deveria haber una divulgacion sobre todo esto, bueno a quien pueda le digo jejejeje mmm

[merumontanus]

Si, tiene mucho que ver con el hongo Batrachochytrium dendrobatidis, el cual ha sido transferido alrededor del mundo y esta acabando con especies que no evolucionaron con protecion natural contra el mismo. Si puedes ayudar... el calentamiento global parece haber ayudado al hongo... asi que puedes promover el desarrollo sostenible. Gracias por el comentario!

i am a fire belly newt keeper

[YamazakiSuperDM]

I am a poison dart frog keeper.

And I think it is a shame and a failure of mankind that we are to spend more thant 2 trillion(!) dollars for war and weapons, BUT ARE NOT ABLE TO SAVE THESE FANTASTIC CREATURES!

[merumontanus]

It's a shame, indeed, but it's a collective set of causes... the chytrid fungus, the pet trade, global warming... all are factors aiding this massive extinction.

[SilentBombr]

i can't believe this is happening. i can't believe the lack of publicity.

[merumontanus]

There's been much publicity on National Geographic, the BBC, etc... but yes, lions and other cuddly animals get priority in our society, unfortunately, when many times it is the smallest and most "insignificant" that have the greatest impact on our ecosystem.

[FrogfairygalE]

I love FROGS!

I collect tadpoles in the spring and raise them in the house then let them go every year. :)

[alubadubdub]
