In 2014, I was involved with Friends of Nature (FON) Nepal as a Project Officer in Chitwan. Since 6th Annual Save The Frogs Day came closer, I talked to Mr. Raju Acharya, Executive Director at FON about observing the day. He was indeed happy to facilitate such a unique conservation message relay event. Having more than two-decades-long experience in conservation, Raju dai advised me to organize a dissemination workshop inviting local and national media person, conservationists and others. As he believed, media coverage to be the best way to inform the un-informed public about amphibians and their plight.
On April 27, Friends of Nature (FON) Nepal observed ‘Save The Frogs Day 2014’ by holding a dissemination workshop at Ratna Nagar, Chitwan. It is also the first celebration by FON Nepal about the special amphibians’ day. A press meet was organized on the occasion along with the participation of local conservationists. I made a keynote presentation about amphibians, their diversity, status, importance, threats, recommendations and so forth in the context of Nepal. To make the session more informative, we provided handouts (press note & fact sheet) to all the participants.
