The New Year will be the Year of the Frog [Amphibians] — Administrator @ 1:36 pm


This video is called The Wolseley Frogs (Mating Season). It says about itself:

This video was recorded on 9th March 2007 at The Wolseley Conservation Centre, near Rugeley, Staffordshire, England.

The soundtrack is La Valse d’Amelie by Tierson.

The New Year 2008, will be, among other things, the Year of the Frog.

The campaign says about itself:

The main goal of this campaign is to generate public awareness and understanding of the amphibian extinction crisis which represents the greatest species conservation challenge in the history of humanity.
There are pro amphibian organizations like Amphibian Ark.
