Amphibian Antics - Special Events in 2008

1 May 2008

Help us save frogs and toads from extinction by joining us at one of our special events this year.

After thriving for over 360 million years, one third to one half of all amphibian species could disappear in the immediate future. Living Coasts is raising money in support of the Amphibian Ark campaign to help prevent the single largest mass extinction since the disappearance of the dinosaurs. The campaign is being organized across Europe by the European Association of Zoos and Aquaria (EAZA).
