FROGS AND AMPHIBIANS: Crisis and CSI

After surviving Earth's natural catastrophes for over 250 million years, frog and other Amphibia populations are declining rapidly and showing deforming mutations worldwide. It is happening so quickly that scientists are racing to investigate and solve these problems before all amphibian species become extinct. HD live-action and 3D animations illustrate the sweep and detail of the crisis. These ancient organisms may be bellwethers for environmental problems that affect us, and many medical cures may be lost with this group's demise. Amphibian anatomy, such as its unique ability to absorb moisture, oxygen and nutrients from air and water through its skin, make this Class of animals susceptible to its own diseases. Arks, our artificially-created habitats, may rescue some frogs in the short term, but we need their survival in natural ecosystems for their, and our, health.
