Leaping Towards a Solution

2008 is the Year of the Frog and in order to celebrate and raise awareness about declining amphibian populations the Association of Zoos and Aquariums is holding a nation-wide celebration on Leap Day, February 29th.

What better way to celebrate leap year than by highlighting the plight of our amphibian friends? A third of the world’s frog populations face extinction. Host Steve Curwood speaks with Shelly Grow, of the Association of Zoos and Aquariums, about their efforts to highlight the problem with a series of exhibits and events.
