Leaping to the Rescue

Cheyenne Mountain Zoo is responding to the worldwide amphibian crisis by partnering with some renowned national and international conservation leaders to make a difference for frogs that have not yet been killed by a creeping fungus called “chytrid” that is encircling the globe and endangering the existence of amphibians on the planet.

On Monday morning, May 11, at 10:00 am we will be announcing our involvement in a new Amphibian Rescue and Conservation Project in the jungles of Panama.

You are invited to attend this critically important announcement on Monday morning at 10 a.m. in the Zoo’s Aquatic’s building to hear more about our involvement in this project.

A national media rollout for the Amphibian Rescue and Conservation Project will be taking place simultaneously at the National Zoo in Washington, D.C. Cheyenne Mountain Zoo President and CEO, Bob Chastain, will be in attendance at the national announcement event as the grand initiative is introduced to the nation’s top science writers and media science reporters.

The Zoo will also debut our new frog rescue exhibit called “Leaping to the Rescue” on Monday morning. You’ll find out about the purpose behind the creation of the exhibit and the species of amphibians that the exhibit will feature.

We hope you will join us for this special announcement Monday morning. Until then, click to enjoy “Gump’s” video debut and to learn more about the amphibian crisis on Fox 21’s Morning Show.
