Frog Studies
One of the concerns in the environmental world right now is the decline of amphibians. Recent studies revealed that in the last two decades there has been an alarming number extinctions and nearly one-third of the world’s amphibian species are threatened. The most important factor to amphibian population declines is habitat destruction. Peace Frogs supports various organizations that are strongly committed to this cause and other important environmental studies: Organization of Tropical Studies (OTS), Partners in Amphibian & Reptile Conservation (PARC), and others.

Famous quotes containing the words frog and/or studies:
“Squats on a toad-stool under a tree
A bodiless childfull of life in the gloom,
Crying with frog voice, “What shall I be?
Poor unborn ghost, for my mother killed me
Scarcely alive in her wicked womb.”
—Thomas Lovell Beddoes (1803–1849)
“Even the poor student studies and is taught only political economy, while that economy of living which is synonymous with philosophy is not even sincerely professed in our colleges. The consequence is, that while he is reading Adam Smith, Ricardo, and Say, he runs his father in debt irretrievably.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
