"BERLIN - Germany's government knows how to take care of its frogs. It is spending $285,200 to construct a tunnel for frogs to use to avoid the dangers of busy streets. Ruediger Zech, a local council spokesman, said the tunnel would allow
native varieties of toads, frogs, and other amphibians to safely reach a nearby lake. The creatures had previously been carried across the road in buckets by volunteers from nature protection groups. Construction for the tunnel is being funded by the foreign ministry and is a part of a package of environmental measures agreed to when the ministry took over the Villa Borsig. The tunnel will be located near a training
center for diplomats on the outskirts of Berlin."
i got this in a newsletter today.... albeit not a scientific newsletter (www.bizarrenews.com), but its still nice to know
