In some 200 locations in the Czech Republic this annual migration leads across a busy road and an estimated twenty percent of the frog population is killed by motorists. In many areas of the country environmentalists are thinking of ways around this problem -and it is not always easy. In some cases there is no alternative but to give the frogs "a helping hand" - across the road. In other words, to put up a barrier , collect dozens of frogs every evening and carry them across the road in buckets. Jan Pivecka has been doing this for years in the Slavicin region of south-east Moravia and he explains why he considers it so important. encr@radio.cz (Cesky Rozhlas)webmaster@radio.cz (CRo Webmaster) https://english.radio.cz/sites/default/files/images/ropuchy.jpg?timestamp=1590239387 https://english.radio.cz/frogs-need-a-helping-hand-across-road-8060287 Radio Prague International Radio Prague International radio.prague.int@gmail.com clean 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9
