for helping to make
Birdathon 2008 a great success!
|
Birdathon 2008 took place from May 9th through May 18th. Teams engaged in a bit of friendly competition to see how many species they could identify within a 24-hour period while raising money to fund Burroughs' important conservation work. Donations are still being accepted! To our valued sponsors and contributors, thank you!

In 2008, Amphibian Ark will lead zoos, botanical gardens and aquariums in a globally coordinated public awareness campaign "The Year of the Frog." The main goal of this campaign is to generate public awareness and understanding of the amphibian extinction crisis which represents the greatest species conservation challenge in the history of humanity. The money raised from this global campaign will help fund initiatives such as training courses, technical guidance, taxon survival efforts, fostering partnerships, capacity building, and communication activities. All these activities will ensure sustainability of the survival assurance populations of amphibians by creating a cash fund for this conservation work that will extend far beyond 2008.
