Event Description
The Amphibian Extinction Crisis
Frog populations worldwide have been declining at unprecedented rates, and nearly one-third of the world's 6,490 amphibian species are threatened with extinction. Amphibians are faced with an onslaught of environmental problems, including pollution, infectious diseases, habitat loss, invasive species, climate change, and over-harvesting for the pet and food trades.
Beth Pratt, Director of Environmental Affairs for Xanterra Parks and Resorts at Yellowstone, will discuss these threats and explain how they affect various groups of amphibians. She will also discuss the necessary actions that must occur in order to prevent further amphibian declines and extinctions. The presentation features many photos of amphibians from around the world, and there will be a question and answer session following the talk. Visit www.savethefrogs.com for more information.
