Your Ecotour Payment Supports Amphibian Conservation
Proceeds from SAVE THE FROGS! Ecotours enable us to educate, inspire, empower and connect the world’s amphibian conservationists. Payments to lodges, parks, restaurants and small businesses help ensure local communities have ample reason to protect Malaysia’s world-famous biodiversity.
In 2024, SAVE THE FROGS! provided full scholarships to ten amphibian conservationists from developing countries, enabling them to take part in our ecotours in Malaysia. In total, $49,792 was awarded ($44,488 in Scholarships + $5,304 in Travel Grants).
We encourage you to donate to the SAVE THE FROGS! Ecotours Scholarship Fund so that we can continue this extremely successful and unique frog-saving initiative.
