“One half to one third of all amphibian species are threatened with extinction due to habitat loss, climate change, pollution and pesticides, introduced species, wild animal collection and most urgently, a parasitic fungus called amphibian chytrid, a deadly disease that is rapidly eradicating amphibian species throughout the planet. This represents the greatest species conservation challenge in our history.”

Animal Interaction Design Group’s (AIDG) Future of Frogs teaches and inspires your guests about one of the greatest and most urgent conservation undertakings ever; the preservation of frogs and amphibians. Why do frogs matter? What most people do not recognize is that frogs are an important part of a healthy environment. They control pest insect populations that damage agriculture and spread diseases. These amazing creatures are sentinel animals and are among the first species to be impacted by contaminants in the environment. Some frog species have been used with great success in the advancements of medicine to help heal the sick.

2008 is the YEAR OF THE FROG for the Association of Zoos and Aquariums.
Future of Frogs traveling exhibit continues AIDG’s ongoing efforts to educate and conserve the world’s natural resources while financially supporting conservation initiatives.

The Future of Frogs traveling exhibit offers a glimpse into the world of some of these amazing animals and their perilous future. Our flexible design allows zoos, aquariums and museums the opportunity to exhibit live frogs in naturalistic exhibits.
