Dear SAVE THE FROGS! Community,

 

SAVE THE FROGS! has grown rapidly since our founding in 2008. We now have numerous programs in the USA and worldwide focused on education, legislation, and the restoration and creation of amphibian habitat. In many cases, SAVE THE FROGS! is the only organization working on these issues, and thus we are the only hope for many threatened and endangered species.

 

As a small nonprofit, our work is dependent on the generosity of supporters like you. And we need your help now more than ever. We currently have an immediate need to raise $20,000 in order to cover our financial obligations. If we cannot raise these funds within the next seven days, we will have no choice but to suspend many of our vital programs.

 

Please donate today and help us raise $20,000 so that we can keep saving frogs from extinction and continue to inspire the next generation of humans to care about and protect amphibian populations.

 

Our volunteers and staff have worked for many years to make these programs successful, so the last thing we want to do is cut programs that provide such clear benefit to amphibians and humanity.

 

If we can't raise the funds, new wetlands for threatened amphibians won't be built.

 

Native frogs won’t receive the legal protections they need to survive.

 

Thousands of kids may never learn about the value of amphibians, or why or how to protect them.

 

Please donate to SAVE THE FROGS! today so that we can keep saving frogs from extinction and continue to inspire the next generation of humans to care about and protect amphibian populations.

 

Thank you so much for your support!

“Hello, my name is Maya, I work with Wild Child Free School, which has a group of homeschoolers that are interested environmental advocacy and sustainability. I really admire the work you're doing, and our whole group loves amphibians!”​

 

“I am a senior student in the Federal University of Vicosa - Brazil, and I have been studying at Ohio Northern University (ONU). I believe spreading these ideas here in Brazil is extremely important due that high biodiversity that we have and the number of animals considered at risk situation.”
-- Carolina Teodoro Marinho, Brazil Scientific Mobility Program (BSMP).​


 

“I think wetlands work is a very worthwhile effort.”
— Joanne Hiratsuka Petersen, Bay Area Amphibian & Reptile Society

"I am pleased with the wonderful work SAVE THE FROGS! is doing to protect frogs. As the international representative of the International Organization for Animal Protection in Cameroon and on behalf of all our members, I hereby wish to collaborate with SAVE THE FROGS! to protect frogs and their natural habitat in this part of the world. While waiting for your favorable response accept our profound regards."
- Mr Che Gilbert Ayunwi, Cameroon

 

 

“Hi Kerry,
We met briefly at the San Francisco Wildlife Expo several years ago. As a Ph.D. biologist myself (now retired), I have been impressed with how hard you work and your passion for saving nature's wonders.
Wishing you the best of luck.”
-- Larry T., Livermore, CA

 

 

"I support SAVE THE FROGS! because it plays a vital role in the global amphibian conservation effort. Academic scientists such as myself are not well-trained, and are often ill-suited, to lead grassroots efforts to save local and regional amphibian faunas. Instead, we tend to focus more on research that documents the nature and extent of global amphibian declines and seeks to discover its causes. Yet, grassroots efforts are in many respects “where the rubber meets the road”; if amphibians are to be saved, it will come about largely through the mobilization of local and regional communities who recognize this goal as a priority and decide to do something about it. SAVE THE FROGS! catalyzes such efforts both in the U.S. and abroad, and for that reason I’m pleased to support it."
