Exhibit.
Vanishing Amphibians. Through March 17. Sandy Creek Nature Center. Sponsored by Georgia Museum of Natural History. 542-1663.
Among the many wonders of this planet, its vast array of life is perhaps the most astonishing. Species evolved to fill every conceivable niche, from high Andean forests to the depths of the ocean floor. Scientists consider such diversity an indication of a healthy ecosystem. But when a species disappears, it is cause for concern on many levels. As Vanishing Amphibians reveals, such is the case with amphibian populations around the world.
The exhibition features maps, a model, and numerous photographs and graphics to help viewers examine the decline of amphibian populations and the unique characteristics that make them vulnerable to changes in their environment. Vanishing Amphibians also explores the broader implications of these falling populations, and what scientists and others are doing to understand and address the problem.
