Save the Frogs Day

Save The Frogs Day

Save the Frogs Day is an annual event on the last Saturday of April dedicated to raising awareness about the conservation of amphibians worldwide. The day was first celebrated in 2009 and has since then become a global phenomenon with thousands of participants and activities in over 60 countries.

The primary goal of Save the Frogs Day is to raise awareness about the rapidly declining amphibian populations worldwide and to promote conservation efforts to save them from extinction. Amphibians play a crucial role in the ecosystem by regulating insects and other invertebrates. They are also important indicators of environmental health since their permeable skin and dependence on both land and water make them particularly sensitive to changes in their environment.

Save the Frogs Day is organized by the non-profit organization, Save the Frogs!, which was founded in 2008 by Dr. Kerry Kriger, an amphibian biologist. The organization's mission is to protect amphibian populations and promote their conservation through education, scientific research, and advocacy.

Save the Frogs Day activities include educational events, seminars, workshops, art and essay contests, frog walks, and fundraisers. Participants can learn about the importance of amphibians and their role in the ecosystem, the threats facing their populations, and ways to help conserve them. The day also provides an opportunity for conservationists, researchers, and policymakers to share their knowledge and collaborate on solutions to save amphibians from extinction.
