Synopsis:
Amphibians are indicator species. Because of their sensitive permeable skin, scientists use amphibians to gauge the overall health of the worldwide ecosystem that we all share. With nearly half of the world's amphibian populations in decline, we are all potentially in big trouble. At a level both appropriate for tweens and appealing to adults, this quirky little movie examines the impact that chemical contaminants play in world-wide amphibian declines and some simple things you can start doing to reduce your chemical footprint today.
