Frogs have been hopping the planet for more than 350 million years. They've evolved into some
of the most wondrous, diverse and beloved animals on earth. Suddenly, they're slipping away.
We've already lost one-third of our amphibians and more are disappearing each day. Some say
it's the greatest extinction since the dinosaurs. Ecosystems are beginning to unravel, important
medical cures are vanishing and we're losing a dear old friend. It's a global crisis, mobilizing
scientists around the world to stem the tide - before the next frog crosses the thin green line.
