What happened

Poland sees hundreds of volunteers in Otrębusy near Warsaw take to the streets each spring to help frogs and toads cross a busy road during migration season.

Why it matters

Wearing reflective vests and using buckets, residents patrol in the evenings, especially after rain, to move amphibians safely to nearby marshes.

Common ground

The effort matters as a road built in the past decade cuts across a traditional route, putting breeding populations at risk.

Perspective signals
