Welcome to The Amphibian Project!
30-50%
of all
amphibians in the world could go extinct in
your lifetime. This is your chance to do something about it.
The
Amphibian Project is working to save one of the world’s most endangered
amphibians – the Large-crested Toad – from extinction. Working in
collaboration with teachers, students, and communities, we are actually
saving this species from extinction through a few simple actions.
You can
help us in this effort by raising awareness about this crisis,
learning about amphibians and spreading the
word, being a friend to frogs,
helping us raise funds to save the
Large-crested Toad, and supporting our project.
Teachers,
join this historic effort by helping to solve one of our world’s most
pressing conservation problems. By incorporating amphibian education
materials into your existing curriculum you can help raise awareness
about this important issue. Join us in
saving frogs from, well, croaking.
The
Amphibian Project is a collaboration between five conservation
professionals brought together by the Emerging Wildlife Conservation
Leaders program working to save one threatened species of frog from
extinction. The
Amphibian Project Team is supporting
Amphibian Ark to raise funds for and awareness of the global
amphibian extinction crisis.
