A Global Gathering Of Save The Frogs Day Organizers
On May 21, 2026, SAVE THE FROGS! Founder Dr. Kerry Kriger and Save The Frogs Day 2026 grantees from the USA, Kenya, Bangladesh, and Pakistan gathered to share what happened at their recent events. Dr. Kriger provided advice on how to write a great event report, and encouraged attendees to start planning the for 19th Annual Save The Frogs Day (April 28, 2027).
The conversation covered a lot of ground useful for any environmental event organizer — not just frog savers — including why reporting matters, what makes a great report, how to curate photos and videos so they actually get used, and how strong reports translate into better future grant applications.

How To Report Your Save The Frogs Day Event
A significant portion of the conversation focused on event reporting. Every Save The Frogs Day grantee agrees to submit a report — but reports vary widely in quality, and only the well-prepared ones become permanent, citable webpages on the SAVE THE FROGS! site.
Dr. Kriger walked through the three pieces of a complete report:
The key word is curated. Send only your best photos — cropped to focus on the subject, lit well enough to be website-worthy. For video, send a single well-produced summary clip of 1 to 4 minutes, not 15 pieces of raw footage. A curated report becomes a permanent webpage that you can link to from your own site, share with collaborators, and reference in future grant applications. An uncurated dump of files often becomes nothing at all.
2026 Save The Frogs Day Events Featured In The Video
A Frog House — Rochester, NY, USA
Margot Fass and Payton of A Frog House held a ribbon-cutting for three new vernal ponds at the local Arboretum, which had filled with water and attracted tadpoles within ten days of construction last year. Nazareth College students are now monitoring the ponds, and seven home-built vernal pond kits will be distributed to vetted recipients in the community.
Nature Hub Collective — Taita Hills, Kenya
Fredrick Kioko Kilonzo of Nature Hub Collective organized Kenya’s largest Save The Frogs Day event, bringing 150 participants together to protect the critically endangered Taita Hills Warty Frog (Callulina dawida), which survives in only 4.3 square kilometers. The event added 500 indigenous trees to breeding sites (1,500 total to date) and trained 45 citizen scientists for bi-weekly monitoring.
Md. Fahim Muntasir — Khulna Division, Bangladesh
Fahim of Jagannath University organized a village-based event with a 200-student rally and 80 community participants, using pre- and post-event quizzes to measure educational impact. The event sparked interest from neighboring schools, and Fahim plans to combine two or three schools for a larger 2027 event. SAVE THE FROGS! Bangladesh has held Save The Frogs Day events since the very beginning.
Syed Arif Hussain — Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, Pakistan
Syed held Save The Frogs Day events at three locations across the province: Al-Usar Higher Secondary School, Government Primary School Gulkhana Ali Zai, and Tanda Dam. He plans to distribute SAVE THE FROGS! materials at the Conservation Asia Congress in Kathmandu, Nepal, June 3–5, 2026.
2027 Save The Frogs Day Planning Starts Now
The 19th Annual Save The Frogs Day is set for April 28, 2027. Dr. Kriger encouraged all grantees to start planning now while 2026 details are fresh, and to involve their organizations’ future leaders so planning doesn’t restart from scratch each year.
