The Amphibian Conservation Story

LEAP INTO ACTION

Leap into Action (LIA) is a regional initiative - a group of more than two dozen conservation and science-related organizations and groups in Northeast Ohio working together in 2008 to highlight amphibians and their habitats through special events, activities, displays and programs throughout the year.

Goals:
  • Support and highlight regional amphibian and wetland conservation efforts.
  • Raise awareness about the plight of amphibians.
  • Promote opportunities for people to get involve

Action is the power to make a difference and the key to conservation!

With knowledge comes responsibility. We know that amphibians are in trouble because of human actions, like pollution and wetland habitat destruction. It is only by changing our behavior and taking action that we will protect amphibians and their habitats. Remember that every little thing that each of us does adds up - we can make a big difference!
