What STF! Supporters Say About Dr. Kriger

“I have deep admiration for Kerry and his endeavors. He shows us all that each of us can make a difference, if we try. I consider it a privilege to contribute towards his efforts.“
Choti Singh
SAVE THE FROGS! Member, Zambia
“Thank you for your leadership of this awesome organization!“
Nancy Lichtle
SAVE THE FROGS! Belize Ecotourist & Donor, California
“Thanks Kerry. Great hearing from you. Your work with frogs is extremely important. We need them as much if not more so than whales. I am presently heading South down the coast of Tasmania bound for the Southern Ocean Whale Sanctuary. We should intercept the Japanese whaling fleet within the next few weeks and hopefully we will be able to save hundreds of whales from their deadly harpoons.“
Captain Paul Watson
Co-Founder of Greenpeace
“Dear Dr. Kriger, I am writing this letter to you because I am inspired by your SAVE THE FROGS! project and what you are doing to help conservation. It’s nice to know that someone has enough kindness to help out. Your work is really remarkable! It’s so important for people to care about the environment, global warming, and extinctions, because we all share this planet. You are inspiring to me and others, because you have helped educate millions of people and done so much. I don’t want to think about living in a world without amphibians and the sound of frogs calling in the night.”

“SAVE THE FROGS! and Kerry Kriger deserve nothing but respect and appreciation for working to make our planet a better place for all; amphibians and mankind alike. Kerry, you do great things for this planet and especially amphibians. To be one little person and to make an impact, is more than most of us can ever dream to do. Good for you, and keep saving those frogs!”
Chris Brennan

“Hello Kerry, greetings from Frankfurt, Germany. I am a biologist and I heard your wonderful talk about frogs during one of the Wednesday ESRAG meetings..I am still very impressed. I told my husband about it, he teaches at the University of Frankfurt. This winter semester he does a seminar on the topic: Is a new/different relationship to nature possible? We would like to invite you to do a talk on your project and a discussion with the students online (80-100 will be online). Please let me know, if you are interested…”
