Tomorrow is Save the Frogs Day!
In order to truly appreciate this day, you need to know why to celebrate. Save The Frogs is a public charity that has a mission to protect amphibian populations and to promote a society that respects and appreciates nature and wildlife. Save The Frogs Day! encourages ordinary citizens to learn about amphibians so that they can inspire, educate, and empower others to protect and care for amphibians.
Frogs are important bio-indicators of our earth. This means that they can tell us if our environment is healthy. I’ve always loved frogs and toads of all kinds and that’s why I want to share what you can do to make our world a better place for all.
