Where on earth ... do more than 200 volunteers annually help almost 16,000 frogs cross the road in springtime? In Estonia, that's where!
In the spring of 1994, I happened to be driving from Tallinn to the ferry for Hiiumaa, taking a route across the northern coast. I saw hundreds of these frogs crossing the road – and dozens of them squashed on the roadway. In other years, I saw hundreds of storks stalking these same frogs in the (abundant) swamps of Estonia. Nothing makes a stork happier than catching one of these for lunch!
