    Thousands protest Trump’s authoritarian power grab
    A demonstrator combines two symbols of resistance against U.S. President Donald Trump's crackdown on Democratic-run cities: a frog costume and a sub sandwich, in Washington, U.S., on October 18, 2025. Protesters in Portland, Ore. have worn inflatable costumes, particularly frogs, in response to heavy-handed police tactics, and a DC man famously "assaulted" a police officer by throwing a sub sandwich at him. Millions of people participated in thousands of No Kings protests across the country. (Photo by Allison Bailey/NurPhoto)

    'You want them to have a fighting chance': the world of toading
    A night out with the Somerset volunteers helping amphibians cross the road to their mating grounds as populations decline.

    It's slow-moving but time flies. It's meditative and weirdly exhausting. There's jeopardy, exhilaration and the awakening of powerful protective feelings. And, on a good night, there's cold rain trickling down the back of your neck.

    Welcome to the world of toading, where endangered amphibians are rescued from lethal roads as they make their annual nocturnal pilgrimage to their mating grounds.

    Charlcombe Toad Rescue, on the edge of Bath, is one of the busiest groups, and particularly hectic on a Thursday night of torrential rain.

    BIONIC TOAD
    BIONIC TOAD - A vet at Tiggywinkles wildlife hospital in Buckingham has conducted one of his smallest operations fixing a fractured humerus bone on a toad. The toad was discovered in a back garden with a broken left arm by a member of the public. The hospitals vet Steve Smith, managed to repair the break with a tiny VetKISS locking plate and four 1mm screws in an operation that took over an hour. The post-operative radiograph showed the operation was a huge success. The toad will remain with Tiggywinkles for the duration of his recovery where staff can monitor the arm to ensure it is healing well before he can then be released back into the wild, along with his bionic new arm. PICTURED AFTER THE OPERATION

  • Epic quest to find the world's forgotten frogs
    DUKAS_44028752_EXC
    Epic quest to find the world's forgotten frogs
    Epic quest to find the world's forgotten frogs

    Four years ago, conservationist and photographer Robin Moore embarked on the largest global quest for species lost to science. Accompanied by over 120 scientists in 21 countries, he went in search of frogs and salamanders last seen between 15 and 160 years ago.

    The four-year quest has produced some surprising rediscoveries, including the Ventriloqual Frog from Haiti, capable of throwing its voice, and the Borneo Rainbow Toad, unseen in 87 years, and remarkable new species such as the "Monty Burns Toad" from Colombia which bears a striking similarity with the nefarious villain from the Simpsons.

    Moore's fascinating new book, In Search of Lost Frogs, tells the story of the quest - its highs and lows, failures and discoveries, and the campaign's ongoing work - in a 70,000 work narrative wrapped around over 400 striking photographs.

    As we lament the rampant loss of species in the midst of the sixth mass extinction - with amphibians at the forefront as the most threatened vertebrate group - Moore believes that hope is as important as despair in motivating people to care. "As conservationists we often get so caught up in communicating what it is that we are losing that we forget to instill a sense of hope," Moore says. "We need to revel in the weird and the wonderful, the maligned and the forgotten, for our world is a richer more wondrous place for them. Stories and images of discovery and rediscovery can help us to reconnect with our inner explorer - they can make us feel part of a bigger, wilder world. Rekindling a connection with the world beyond our concrete boxes is the key to caring about the way we are treating our natural world."

Stories and images of discovery and rediscovery can help us to reconnect with our inner explorer - they can make us feel part of a bigger, wilder world. Rekindling a connection with the world beyond our concrete boxes is the key to caring about the way we are treating our natural world."

    Photo shows: Juvenile Macaya Breast-spot Frog, Eleutherodactylus thorectes, a critically endangered species in the Massif de la Hotte. One of the smallest frogs in the world, it was rediscovered in 2010 after close to two decades.
