The Cape Cod Museum of Natural History
presents
  Save the Frogs Day!



BREWSTER, MA ­The Cape Cod Museum of Natural 
History in Brewster in conjunction with the 
world’s leading amphibian conservation 
organization, Save the Frogs! present Save the 
Frogs Day! Saturday, April 30, 2016 11am – 3pm.

  Frog populations have been declining worldwide 
at unprecedented rates, and nearly one-third of 
the world’s amphibian species are threatened with 
extinction. Up to 200 species have completely 
disappeared since 1980.  Amphibian populations 
are faced with an array of environmental 
problems, including pollution, infectious 
diseases, habitat loss, invasive species, climate 
change, and over-harvesting for the pet and food 
trades. Unless we act quickly, amphibian species 
will continue to disappear, resulting in 
irreversible consequences to the planet’s 
ecosystems and to humans. Frogs eat mosquitoes; 
provide us with medical advances; serve as food 
for birds, fish and monkeys; and their tadpoles 
filter our drinking water. Plus frogs look and 
sound cool, and kids love them -- so there are 
lots of reasons to save the frogs!

Join us for a day of interactive STEAM frog 
activities for children; Brewster native Alison 
Argo’s PBS NATURE documentary, “Frogs: The Thin 
Green Line” all day in the Hay Room; art 
activities in the Wild Art Room, and a 
presentation by our aquarist on Cape Cod frogs!

Free with Museum Admission
