Last chance: Share your frog thoughts & enter our prize draw

March 5, 2014 by Admin

Froglife’s national survey about perceptions of amphibians and reptiles is coming to an end on the 14th of March.  We are asking people what they think about snakes, newts, frogs, lizards and toads as part of a project supported by the Heritage Lottery Fund to investigate how the animals are viewed.  We would love to know your thoughts about wildlife and charity, and you can find the online survey here.

Questions include your favourite animals and thoughts about wildlife conservation, your opinions on amphibians and reptiles, a bit of an ID quiz as well as about the charitable causes closest to your heart.

We’re not looking for right or wrong answers; we’re really interested in honest responses to help us get a better understanding of the challenges we face when talking about our work.  You can find out more about the aims of The Scale of the Problem project here.

Through taking part, you can also enter a prize draw to win over £50 worth of goodies from the Froglife online shop, with a prize for over 18s and under 18s who take part.

Under 18s prize
The prize for under 18s includes a cuddly frog, pond dipping kit and frog back pack from the online shop

The results so far have been really interesting, with Hedgehogs the most popular answer to the favourite animal question. 95% of the respondents so far have seen a frog in the wild in the UK, compared to 64% having seen a snake.  We are also hearing, perhaps unsurprisingly, that many people are affected by  financial concerns when choosing to support charities, and have cut back donations.  All of the information we gather through the survey will be analysed by marketing experts Emerald Frog to help us strengthen our fundraising and campaigning techniques, enabling us to better support amphibians and reptiles into the future.

It would be wonderful if you could take the time to share your thoughts and experiences before the 14th of March, to help shape the future of Froglife’s communications and campaigns. Thank you!

Share your ideas and opinions, help shape our future

February 3, 2014 by Admin

Froglife’s project gathering opinions about reptiles, amphibians, other wildlife and supporting conservation charities continues in 2014. The Perception of Amphibians and Reptiles: The Scale of the Problem involves collecting thoughts through vox pops in different locations, visiting groups to run discussion sessions alongside an online survey.  The project is supported by the Heritage Lottery Fund.

There is still time for you to take part and enter the prize draw to win over £50 worth of goodies from the Froglife shop. The survey will be open until the 12th of March.  Find out more about the prizes here.

“It’s been a really interesting process for Froglife so far,” explains Sam Taylor who has been coordinating the project since last August. “We started with a literature review, and we’re in the data-gathering phase now to find out more about the animals that people feel an affinity with and the issues that concern different groups. So far through the survey the Hedgehog, Badger and Fox feature highly on the list of favourite UK animals, with frogs, toads and newts also getting a big mention.”

“Questions being asked through the survey and focus groups explore how people feel about supporting wildlife charities, with many telling us that they are experiencing financial difficulties so are limiting the charities they support,” adds Sam.  “We are also getting some really useful feedback about the conservation sector and how Froglife as an organisation is perceived within it.”

Through the project, Froglife is aiming to reach as many people as possible, and we’d genuinely love to know what you think about wildlife, the animals you care about, and how you choose to support different causes.

It would be great if you could help us by taking the survey, and sharing it as widely as possible. We’ll be using the results to help improve our communications, so everyone taking part will have a real impact on how the organisation works in future.
