Tied to the opening of a new exhibit called "Save the Frogs", this poster was produced by the Jacksonville Zoo and Gardens:
"The greatest mass extinction since the dinosaurs is happening in our time. With the threat of a shrinking habitat, pollution, climate change, and a fungus called chytrid, frog species from all over the world -- even here in our own backyard -- need our help to survive. In 2008, the "Year of the Frog," the Jacksonville Zoo and Gardens opened the Save the Frogs! Amphibian Conservation Center -- a sanctuary for amphibians to be bred and returned to the wild."
