Amphibian extinction at heart of international day
Save The Frogs day takes place on April 26.
Save The Frogs day takes place on April 26.

Education and conservation awareness to be highlighted

They are amongst one of the most endangered species on the planet, yet many people are unaware that frog populations are disappearing.

Amphibian education and conservation will be at the heart of the international Save The Frogs Day, which takes place on April 26.

It is the sixth year that the Save The Frogs event has been held.

Last year supporters held 270 events in more than 30 countries.
Organisers at Save The Frogs say pollution, loss of habitat, climate change, invasive species, road mortality, over harvesting for the pet and food trades, and the  infectious disease chytridiomycosis which is spread by human activity, are all resulting in amphibian species dying out. 

It say nearly a third of the world's amphibian species are on the brink of extinction and that the threats to these animals will rise as the human population grows, unless action is taken.
