About Us
Our Mission
Amphibians are the most endangered class of animal in the world. Each and every day, amphibian populations continue their rapid decline which has been ongoing for over 5 decades - largely due to habitat loss caused by mass deforestation all across the world. Despite this reality, and despite the importance of amphibians to us and our ecosystems, this is overlooked by the vast majority of people - especially important decision makers across the world who have the power to make future altering changes that benefit these small, yet vital creatures in their fight for survival.
HelpFrogs is dedicated to doing our part in the efforts to help save amphibian populations across the world. Our goal is to use our designs and online voice as a vehicle to popularize the conversation about what is happening to our amphibian counterparts, and hopefully inspire a new generation of bright young leaders to get involved in the fight for their amphibious planet mates. 10% or more of every order ever made on helpfrogs.com will be donated to crucial nonprofit amphibian conservation groups, with a much larger percentage being invested into expanding our reach, and organizing help groups within our local communities.

Whether you love frogs or not, we'd be willing to bet that you hate mosquitoes. One of the most important roles of amphibians is the work they do in controlling insect populations. If frogs were to no longer exist, insect populations would rapidly increase, causing massive harm to farmland, plants, and the everyday life of humans. This is why we strongly believe our mission of saving our amphibians is one that benefits each and every individual person on this planet.
How You Can Help
- Limit the use of pesticides and other harsh chemicals used in your yard
- Use a "frog log" in your inground swimming pools when they aren't in use - this is a device that creates an escape route for frogs or other creatures when they have mistaken your pool for a pond. No more scooping out dead critters!
- Create structure in your yard such as rock walls, bushes, lush gardens with native plants, or even man made ponds with chemical free water
- Use collected rain water, or tap water to water gardens as much as possible - water from hoses typically is untreated and contains a higher amount of chlorine and other chemicals
- Go on tadpole rescue missions in your community - keep an ear and eye out for swimming pool covers, or drying up puddles that were mistakenly used by frogs to lay their eggs. Scoop up as many as possible into a bucket of pond water and bring them to the nearest fish-free body of water or vernal pool that won't dry up or be disturbed.
