Sisalee Boots - Age 11

Hi, my name is Sisalee I am eleven years old. My friends Fiona, Rachelle, and Sandra plus my cousin Dawn and step brother Marcus are planning a bake sale at school to help your cause. We are also speaking with the Kindergarden, 1st and 2nd grade teachers to for us to talk with their classes about saving frogs and what we can do to help them. We picked to talk with them because we know that a lot of them love frogs.

We are going to show them about frogs and what is happening to them plus all their body part deformations. I am also writing an essay about frogs as well as a speech that will be given to the 3rd 4th and the rest of the fifth grade. We're making flyers and posters for around the school too. We are trying the ways you say we can help and trying to get others to help too. All of the people that are working with me are dedicated and love all animals know that what every day humans do horrible to the planet I'm trying to make a difference to our lives and the frogs plus other animals. I hope we help you and this is only the beginning of our SAVE THE FROGS act. People say I am a good strong writer and I hope to use that someday. I care a lot for every animal and I can make that clear with in a minute of speaking with someone.

Once in fourth grade we had a debate and after i was done say what i wanted to say for my team no one in the class ever again questioned my love and loyalty to animals, not even the boys who were mean to me. Thank you for reading my email.

Save the Frogs

Go and save the frogs
green or brown colouration
very wide mouth or warts and ridges on skin
go and save frogs.

Go and save frogs
green and black, wet, webbed feet,
so wonderful.

Go and save frogs
red and blue with black eyes
so big with short limbs that jump very high.

Go and save frogs
Black spots on back
with green skin and black bands on legs.

Go and save the frogs
bright bulging eyes
long powerful hind legs
that spring high in the air.

I love frogs but sadly they are going extinct. It’s our job to stop this nonsense that we are creating. With just enough people we can save the frogs and other amphibians out there.

Frogs are being threatened by pollution, infectious diseases, habitat loss, invasive species, climate change, over-harvesting to the pet and food trades. If we continue to let this happen amphibian species will continue to vanish and it could get so bad that there are irreversible solutions and could affect our earth’s ecosystems.

Why frogs you ask, well the adult frog eats insects that can give us diseases or fatal illnesses, like mosquitoes or malaria. The tadpole (baby frog) keeps waterways clear by eating that icky stuff called algae. Frogs serve as important food to such predators as monkeys, dragonflies, fish, snakes and birds. Do you see why frogs are important? Guess what, that was only a few reasons!!

Frogs even help us humans with our health. You see they produce skin secretions that can help human health through their use in pharmaceuticals. Every time a frog species dies so does its promise to improve the human medicine. Do you see why we need to save the frogs?

There are 6,317 amphibian species and 5,576 are frogs and toads and 566 are newts and salamanders and 175 of them are caecilians.

Did you know that the largest frog is the Goliath Frog, which can be as long as a foot and can weigh up to 6.6 lbs. The world’s smallest frog is the Brazilian Frog, which is only 0.6in when it’s fully-grown. Have you ever seen a six-legged frog? It may sound weird but a lot of frogs are malformed. How sad!

A lot of people have already made their donation, now you can too. Go to www.savethefrogs.com and find ways that you can help.

We can make a difference one hop at a time!
