Hope for Sand Lizards and Natterjacks
Sand lizards were once plentiful in the UK, but have become much diminished in numbers through loss of their sandy heathland habitat. Re-introductions in Dorset last year seem to have been successful and more animals will be released into the wild this year. Nearer to home there are to be releases of sand lizard and natterjack toads in Hampshire and Sussex as part of the huge South Downs National Park Heathlands Reunited Project. More here



From Froglife; good, well-explained, simple tips for helping frogs in your garden.  Also applicable to other amphibians. With Climate Change in the news three Froglife science croaks worth reading:
Ponds Against Climate
Amphibians and Climate Change
