Frogs Are Green Environmental Organization Helping to Bring Awareness About Frog Decline Around The World

Welcome

For over 200 million years, ponds, marshes, grasslands, and rain forests have come alive with the calls of frogs. Yet these remarkable and colorful animals are declining at such a rapid rate that they are being called the Earths next dinosaurs. According to the IUCN Red List of Threatened Species, a third of the worlds amphibian species are threatened with extinction.

World-renowned Harvard biologist E.O. Wilson has written in the book, The Creation: An Appeal to Save Life on Earth:

Kermit the Frog, to summarize the situation in a phrase, is sick. And to varying degrees so is much of the living world. Might Homo sapiens follow? Maybe, maybe not. But with certainty we are the great meteorite of our time, having begun the sixth mass extinction of Phanerozoic history. We are creating a less stable and interesting place for our descendants to inherit.

Frogs are threatened by habitat loss, climate change, pollution, and disease. Because they breathe and drink through their skin, they are extremely sensitive to an unhealthy environment. Chemicals, pesticides, ozone, and UV are dangerous, even deadly, to them.

This New Jersey nonprofit organization is called FROGS ARE GREEN because we believe that healthy frogs mean a healthy planet. By saving the frogs, we will also save our planet—and ourselves.

Please hop in and get involved. Wed love to hear from you!

— Susan Newman Lerer, Founder

I believed in your cause from the start and who couldnt? Our climate is in turmoil and during these turbulent times, I hope the outcome will be climate action. The Frogs Are Green program is a reminder and an opportunity to learn how the ecosystem works. And how artists can impact society by being visual heralds to educate everyone that the health of our planet is our route to survival. I so appreciate your enthusiasm, dedication, and intuitiveness to see the path to healing through nature. Thank you for including the students of Jersey City Public Schools in the process. I wish you happiness and health in the days ahead and always.

Frogs Are Greenis on an awareness mission to educate the public about the threats to frogs and amphibians. Through blogging, interviews, social media and annual events we have reached a great many people but now its time to go to the next level and bring a new curriculum to the schools.

Young children are naturally curious about nature and can express themselves through art in a way they cannot verbally, so this curriculum developed by Susan Newman, founder of Frogs Are Green, combines science and art together in a six-week course. (Click below to learn much more about this!)

Firenze University Press Book Review: Frogs, Amphibians and Their Threatened Environment Discovery and Expression Through Art K-3

Excerpt:
In such a sense the book “built” (not only and not simply written) by Susan Newman is for me a real jewel. In many ways. This book is mainly destined to educators and provides a true roadmap to teach young readers and explorers the love for amphibians. Susan has coped her strong passion for frogs (she is the founder and the promoter of “Frogs Are Green”, a non profit organization created in 2009 to bring awareness to what’s happening on our planet, especially to the fact that frogs everywhere are disappearing: http://frogsaregreen.org/) with art. In such a way the aim of the organisation is to give kids the opportunity to learn about the environment, frogs and other amphibians, and to express themselves through art. In this way Susan’s love for science has been put together with the great and somehow innate interest that children (in this case up to the 3rd grade) have for frogs and drawings
