Marching for Frogs :)

[Geee]

American Spectator:

If you don't hear about "saving the frogs" by the end of this week, it's only because you're living under a rock -- like some amphibian or something. Environmental activists have declared April 29 to be "Save the Frogs Day," and they're going to do everything possible to enlist you into their crusade.
Their cause has an official website, announcing international events, seminars, classroom propaganda, poetry and art contests, and an obligatory demonstration on the steps of the Environmental Protection Agency -- all to alert you, Joe Citizen, to the looming "amphibian extinction crisis."
For several years, researchers have warned about the threat of extinction among certain frog and amphibian species. And to the extent that a problem does exist, biologists have managed to isolate the main culprit: disease.

In 2007, a major scientific study concluded: "The global emergence and spread of the pathogenic, virulent, and highly transmissible fungus Batrachochytrium dendrobatidis, resulting in the disease chytridiomycosis, has caused the decline or extinction of up to about 200 species of frogs." The biologists characterized this disease's impact on frogs as "the most spectacular loss of vertebrate biodiversity due to disease in recorded history," and they concluded: "In the absence of supportive evidence for alternative theories despite decades of research, it is important for the scientific community and conservation agencies to recognize and manage the threat of chytridiomycosis to remaining species of frogs."

Hate to say it-but I remember that!
