March 30th, 2009 Posted in UpdatesAccording to a PBS documentary, Frogs: A Thin Green Line, airing April 5th, 8pm EDT, the frog species is facing eradication. Below is a quote from PBS thanks to Treehugger.com:
- Habitat loss, pollution and a human population that has doubled in the past 50 years have set the stage for their diminished numbers. But now, a fungus called chytrid has been identified as the major culprit, and so far the spread of the fungus can’t be stopped.

Be sure to tune in. It will be a sad day when an evening outdoors consists of silence instead of mellifluous croaking from our frog friends.
