In the month of September and October Conservation International (a world organization that works to ensure a healthy and productive planet for us all) is sending researchers across the world in an unprecedented search to rediscover species of “lost” amphibians - animals considered potentially extinct but that may be holding on in a few remote places. It is the ultimate “Search for the Lost Frogs”. Port Elizabeth Museum Natural Scientist, Werner Conradie, will lead a local team of researchers into the Amotala Mountains in search of the critically endangered Amatola Toad, last seen in 1998. Frogs play a key role in ecosystem and keeps it healthy. Will he be successful in finding this frog? What else will they find? Join us at Bayworld on 24 September at 12:00 noon, for an up to date illustrated report on this exercise and hear about what is happening in the ever shrinking environments of amphibians of the world.
