An excerpt from the article:
“Toronto Zoo is also one of the main hubs for knowledge, research and initiatives with respect to the protection of nature, and it runs a plethora of projects to that effect.
Several conservancy projects are brought together under the Adopt-A-Pond umbrella that aims to protect wetlands. Two of the most endearing projects are Turtle Tally and FrogWatch. Given that Ontario has a cold climate, there aren’t all that many reptiles and amphibians in Ontario and this makes it quite possible for most of us to learn to know them all. We have 13 types of frogs and toads and 9 or 10 species of turtles in Ontario.” – Digital Journal
