Save The Sharp Park Wetlands!
The Sharp Park Wetlands are home to the endangered California Red-Legged Frog and San Francisco garter snake, as well as numerous bird species. Unfortunately, in 1931 the City of San Francisco built a golf course on top of the wetlands. The 146 acre golf course has been killing endangered frogs and costing the City’s taxpayers money ever since. SAVE THE FROGS! along with Wild Equity Institute and the Center for Biological Diversity are calling on the City of San Francisco to turn over Sharp Park to its neighbor, the National Park Service.
With your support we will bring worldwide attention to the plight of Sharp Park’s endangered frogs and ensure the City of San Francisco closes the money-losing, frog-killing Sharp Park Golf Course and turns the land over to its next-door neighbors the National Park Service. As the newest addition to America’s national park system, the Sharp Park Wetlands would become a haven for wildlife; a hiking destination open to the many, rather than the few; would save the City of San Francisco hundreds of thousands of dollars annually; and would boost the local economy through increased ecotourism.

Endangered Amphibians Live Here
“Hi Kerry, I am a huge frog fan and am hoping to be in attendance at the upcoming Save The Frogs Day Rally in SF. I am a close neighbor to the controversial Sharp Park Golf Course and am fortunate enough to be able to hear the frogs during my evening walks by the beach. It is my hope that their habitat will not be destroyed by the golf course. Thank you so very much for your invaluable support to a well loved and under-appreciated species!”

Summary
The primary causes of amphibian extinctions are pollution, loss of habitat, climate change, invasive species, road mortality, over-harvesting for the pet and food trades, and the infectious disease chytridiomycosis, which is spread by human activity.
