PROJECT POND LIFE: SPECIES AT RISK

The variety of life in Ontario's wetlands is amazing, and includes amphibians, reptiles, mammals, birds, fish, invertebrates and plants. Loss of wetland habitat and other environmental problems has a negative effect on species survival.

Project Pond Life addresses selected wetland species at risk by raising public awareness and promoting local action and involvement. FrogWatch Ontario and Ontario Turtle Tally are our two flagship citizen monitoring projects, with over 500 participants in the former and about 90 in the latter. Other species-based conservation projects include an applied research project on turtle species-at-risk living in Rouge Park (Urban Turtle Initiative) and the beginnings of a citizen-based salamander monitoring programme (Salamander Project). We also provide information on the current, catastrophic decline in the world's amphibian populations, and links to for you to learn more (Global Amphibians).
