Use Your Webcam or Digital Camera to Help Save Frogs
Around the world, frogs are in danger. Nearly one third of all frog and amphibian species risk extinction, thanks to habitat loss, pollution, pesticides, climate change and an insidious fungal infection that has spread to almost every corner of the globe. But there’s something you can do to help fight for frogs, by spreading the word through Save the Frogs’ new video and photo contest.
How do you enter? Just make a video that mentions the website savethefrogs.com and upload it to YouTube. (There are a few more steps to become part of the contest; see the site for details.) Prizes include a Save the Frogs t-shirt and other goodies — but this is really about extending awareness of frogs’ plight, so the prizes don’t really matter that much, right?
Save the Frogs founder Dr. Kerry Kriger has a few ideas of how to make a cool video that’s eligible for the contest:
1. Talk or sing about frogs; it can be funny or serious.
2. Interview people in the street about frogs.
3. Make an animated video or use high tech digital imagery.
4. Film yourself dancing around in a SAVE THE FROGS! t-shirt.
Otherwise, anything goes. It’s up to you. Entries are due September 29, but as Kriger says, “Please submit sooner if possible: the frogs need your help now !”
