Statistics compiled by MARJORIE MOL show that the population of Rana viridiana frogs in Slow Water Park is DOWN BY ALMOST 50% over preceding years. Slow Water River supplies the drinking water for our city. Something is WRONG, and we need to force THE CITY TO TAKE IMMEDIATE ACTION and FIND OUT THE TRUTH behind the drastic decline in the frog population.
Frogs: A "Bellwether"
Species
Frogs have very permeable skin, and they spend a lot of time in the water.
Rana viridiana frogs also lay their eggs in the water. If there are
POLLUTANTS in Slow Water River, they would affect the frogs FIRST. They
are the ALARM that alerts us that something may be wrong with our water!
Frogs: Extinction
Is Forever!
Frogs such as Rana viridiana are very sensitive to changes in their
environment. They are the ALARM that alerts us that something may be wrong
with the way we're managing THE PARK THAT BELONGS TO ALL CITIZENS of our
city. This year, the frogs - next year, the FISH or the BIRDS or maybe the
TREES.
Take action! Demand the truth!
Write, call or EMAIL your Councilman's office
and urge him or her to SAVE OUR FROGS!
