Sir David Attenborough: the Global Amphibian Crisis

Sir David Attenborough talks about the global amphibian crisis.

The Zoological Society of London is working alongside Amphibian Ark (AArk), which was founded to carry out an Amphibian Conservation Action Plan (ACAP).

AArk's three principal partners are:

IUCN/SSC Conservation Breeding Specialist Group (CBSG)
IUCN/SSC Amphibian Specialist Group (ASG)
World Association of Zoos and Aquariums (WAZA)
AArk will implement the development of short term captive management of threatened amphibians - thus ensuring the long-term survival of species for which adequate protection in the wild is not currently available. Captive management buys valuable time to mitigate threats for species that would otherwise go extinct.

AArk supports the rescue of amphibian species to bring them into "protective custody" in dedicated biosecure facilities at zoos, aquariums, botanical gardens, research centres, and other institutions around the world for safekeeping and breeding. These rescued amphibians will be released back into the wild when the original threats have been controlled.

It's not just the music volume, they split the sound so he's in the left speaker and the music is in the right. It's obnoxious.

Please please please turn down the stupid background music. Sir Attenborough's message is so important, give him the respect he deserves and let us hear what he is saying. This video is 3 years old, doesn't anyone at the Ark monitor this site?
