Donations
Amphibian Ark is accepting donations and inviting gift givers worldwide –
corporations and individuals – to join in one of the greatest species
conservation programs in the history of humanity. Amphibian Ark must raise
$50-$60 million to save 500 of the most endangered species. While a $100,000
corporate or philanthropic gift allows a donor to “adopt” a frog species (or a
toad, newt, salamander, or caecilian) and have the option to join scientists on
a rescue mission, Amphibian Ark is asking for donations of any size to
ultimately help the Ark set sail and bring amphibians to safe harbor.

Sapos - a
beautiful new book from Ecuador
Our friends from Ecuador have done
it again, this time using the surreal patterns and colors of naturally beautiful
amphibians in combination with and as inspiration for graphic art. This book is
nothing short of amazing and once again, confirms that nothing is as unique and
inspiring as nature itself. Sapos covers dozens of
frogs from Ecuador with fantastic imagery, both natural and man-made in its 256
pages.
Reproduction, camouflage
and other life history aspects are included. With a forward by William Duellman
and introduction by the authors, the need to cherish and protect these precious
natural treasures is made quite clear. With their highly successful Sapari
public exhibit on amphibians and the Balsa de Sapos breeding program, the
Colomas group has elevated amphibians to knew levels of importance and public
awareness in Ecuador and around the world.
Thanks to the generosity of the authors, we have a group of these wonderful
books available to help raise funds for amphibian conservation through the
Amphibian Ark. A donation of $100 plus $5 shipping will get you a copy of this
limited edition masterpiece. For more information, contact:
Ron Gagliardo. To obtain your own limited edition
copy of this book, please click the Donate button below:
