Next Friday’s Ecofilm, screening May 13th at 7 p.pm., will be Wild Frogs – The Thin Green Line
Genre: Documentary, Produced by: National Geographic, 51 Minutes, English
Frogs have been on this planet for more than 250 million years, evolving into some of the most wondrous and diverse creatures on Earth. Today, they are at the centre of one of the greatest mass extinctions since the dinosaurs. It is a crisis unfolding around the world. Where the calls of frogs once filled the air, now we hear only silence. Their impact on the world’s ecosystems is great. Frogs sit right in the middle of the food chain, and without them, other creatures are disappearing, too. We are only just beginning to understand what life may be like without them. The race is on to stem the tide – before the next frog crosses the thin, green line.
