I wanted to share a wonderful email I received about the efforts being made in the name of amphibian conservation.
Hi Wendell!
As someone passionate about amphibians, I wanted to introduce you to a resource that may be of interest to you and your readers. The Clorox Company is part of the effort to raise awareness and funding needed to mitigate the amphibian extinction crisis. In partnership with nonprofit group Amphibian Ark (which I see you have on your blogroll and have written about in the past), Clorox created Savethefrog.com. The site includes:
· Video from experts in the industry, such as Amphibian Ark Program Officer Kevin Zippel and biologist Jeff Corwin
· Field reports from Animal Planet’s Jeff Corwin as he travels around the globe filming “The Vanishing Frog,” a new documentary project produced by Discovery Studios and made possible in partnership with The Clorox Company
· Beautiful photos of amphibians in their natural habitat · Information about significant conservation efforts in El Valle, Panama
· Information about how people can help in the effort to rescue amphibians
· And much more
How Clorox Helps
Clorox joined Amphibian Ark as the first official corporate sponsor, donating funds as well as its Regular-Bleach product to aid in the halt of the spread of chytrid fungus, a parasitic fungus deadly to hundreds of species and creating one of the most immediate causes of amphibian decline. Bleach, an EPA-registered fungicide, is one of the most important tools in Amphibian Ark’s fight to save the frogs, but more help is needed to save these important animals.
I hope that we can work together in raising awareness about this crisis and that you would consider using savethefrog.com as a resource for future postings or even adding it to your blogroll. And, if you would like any additional information about the content found on savethefrog.com, have any questions or would like to use any of the photos, please don’t hesitate to ask.
Thanks in advance for your time and consideration!
Kindly,
Julie Fleishman-Hillard, On behalf of The Clorox Company’s effort to save the frog
