Tips On Writing An Excellent Final Report
Your final report should be a PDF document that details what your project was all about. It should include a title, your name as the author, how much funding you received from SAVE THE FROGS!, what your project was all about, why it was important, what you accomplished, and anything else of relevance to readers who may be interested in your efforts. It ideally would be formatted in an aesthetically-pleasing manner and include some excellent photographs. It can contain your contact info or how to find you on social media. It should ideally include a SAVE THE FROGS! logo. You should assume it may be published to the SAVE THE FROGS! website and live there for many years…and thus be happy that what you prepared is of high quality and represents you and SAVE THE FROGS! well.

“Dear Dr. Kerry,
I am delighted to inform you that both Save The Frogs Day and SAVE THE FROGS! Amphibian Conservation Grant applications have been successfully submitted.

Once again, thank you for your unwavering support and belief in my work!”
“Dear Dr. Kerry, I’m happy to say that the majority of people in our organization share the love for herpetofauna, including amphibians. So, we look forward to working for amphibian research and conservation, and also hope for some collaboration with SAVE THE FROGS! in the near future. I have started my Master’s at the University of Padova, Italy and I’m currently doing my studies here while remotely helping our team members with the organizational works. I’ve always seen SAVE THE FROGS! and you as an inspiration for continuing my journey in the conservation sector and I’m dedicated to do more. Thank you for everything and best wishes for saving the world’s amphibians. Warm Regards.”
