Michael Starkey of SAVE THE FROGS! will offer an informative presentation about current threats to amphibians and what you can do about it. Amphibian populations are declining at an alarming rate. Nearly one third of the world’s amphibian species are on the edge of extinction with almost 200 species having disappeared since 1979. What is causing this crisis and how can you help?

Michael Starkey serves as chairman of the Save The Frogs! advisory committee and has given presentations on frog conservation throughout the United States and Canada as well as Germany, Ghana and Belize. He has worked as a consultant for the United States Fish and Wildlife Service and the California Department of Fish and Game. He has also worked at the Smithsonian Tropical Research Institute in Panama.

This program is sponsored by the Betty Kleiner Memorial Lecture series and admission is free to members. Nonmember admission is $3.00 for students and $5.00 for adults.
