About the Event
Amphibians are some of the quietest residents of the island, and some of the most at risk. Nearly a third of amphibian species worldwide are threatened, which makes them the most endangered land animals on Earth. In BC, 64% of frogs and toads and 30% of salamanders are listed as species of concern.
Ecologist Dr. Kristiina Ovaska will be at the Community Hall at 7 pm on Friday, November 27 to present Leapers and creepers: Helping frogs and salamanders thrive in a changing world. She’ll cover:
Which amphibians live on the Gulf Islands, or likely do
How to identify them
What’s driving their decline
What each of us can do to help them thrive
Admission is $10 or pay what you can. Hope to see you there.
