Ribbit. Save the Frogs!
Today is Save the Frogs! Day. Thanks to NOLS Grad Dr. Kerry Kriger, who took the North Cascades Mountaineering Course in 1991, the Alaska Mountaineering Course in 1992, and the Grand Canyon Mountain Biking alumni trip in 2005, we are celebrating the second annual Save the Frogs! Day.
To some, frogs are pesky wet critter that are heard but never seen. But, as we reported in our Fall 2009 issue of the Leader, Kerry wants the world to know that “the decline in frog populations has real environmental consequences in the world.”
So, to celebrate this day, check out the Save the Frogs! web-site, read the Official Guide to Save the Frogs Day, read a treatise on frogs (ichthyologists, herpetologists, and amphibiologists, oh my!), wear green, buy some amphibian artifacts, and at the very least, raise a toast to Kermit, our beloved frog of childhood days.
