Dear All,

The coming issue of FrogLog in June will focus on Africa. I would therefore like to solicit any articles on your projects in East Africa which highlight your research. Please could you contact me if you have any potential ideas or themes that we could include based on amphibians from the East African region.

In FrogLog this year there is a focus on communicating the many success stories that are out there. Do you have a project in your region that has looked at the effects of a management intervention to conserve amphibians? Do you know of any novel techniques used for the conservation of an amphibian species? It could be anything from protecting, restoring or creating habitat to captive breeding and releases, as well as the implementation of conservation education and awareness programs. We are interested in focusing on promoting successful projects that demonstrate how to protect or boost wild amphibian populations by intervening to restore natural processes and/or mitigate threats. 
Ideally we would like a minimum of two articles from each region but if you have other articles you would like to include that perhaps fall outside of this focal area please feel free to send them our way.

Currently mainland Africa contains our lowest readership levels and FrogLog are eager to change this. General information for authors submitting to FrogLog can be found here: http://www.amphibians.org/froglog/guidelines/

The deadline to submit your articles for this edition is June 1, 2013. Articles should be submitted to fro...@amphibians.org. If you missed the last edition of FrogLog it can be found here with all 106 previous editions  http://www.amphibians.org/froglog/archive/

Please contact me if you have any thoughts or ideas on the matter. For other regions in African please contact relevant regional co-ordinators or FrogLog directly.

Best wishes,

Simon Loader
