John Cleese, Agile Frog Campaign

John Cleese lends his support to the plight of the critically endangered Agile Frog, which cannot be found anywhere else in Britain.

In Jersey the last 100 years have been difficult for this little frog, which is now considered to be Critically Endangered. Its decline began at the turn of the last century and by the 1970s the agile frog could be found in roughly seven small areas of the island, dropping to just two by the 80s. Today, only one fragile population survives in the south-west of the island.

The Agile Frog is being given a wonderful boost, thanks to a new education initiative, and desperately needed funds, supported by HSBC Private Bank, Bedell Group and Motormall.

This new initiative is a great example of how Durrell and the Jersey business community can come together to make a real difference to Jersey’s rare wildlife.
