2008 really is «The Year of the Frog».
The year essentially is a global public awareness campaign aiming to raise awareness and understanding of the amphibian extinction crisis which, according to the organisation «Amphibian Ark»,
“represents the greatest species conservation challenge in the history of humanity.”
2008 also is
- the International Year of Planet Earth,
- the European Year of Intercultural Dialogue,
- the International Year of the Potato, and
- the International Year of Sanitation.
But for me, 2008 will always be the year of the frog – not the least because I bought Mr Froschkönig, the star of these pictures, from «The Crafty Hedgehog» over at tragically addictive etsy.
