At the end of 2002
After one year of studies
and surveillance I can say that we rich our purposes for the first year.
It means that:
- we located two sites where the presence of Hyla Arborea frogs is
permanently during the period May – August;
- we focused on:
- the vegetation development in sites
- the hydrologic evolution of the site environments during the
entire period February – September
- the human impact and human interference in sites in different
periods of the year
- we captures 3 male and 3 females, witch reproduced in captivity
conditions and gave birth to a number of 234 frog released in the
site environment after the metamorphose cycle
- we started to study the frogs in captivity and notified the mode
of their entering in hibernation
- we studied also the little frogs feeding way and their behavior:
- territory delimitation
- the communications during different periods of the year
- the optimal temperature and humidity conditions
- the reproduction
- their homochronicity
- we obtained audio and video records – the audio records were
analyzed with the spectrum analyzer program – GRAM and the results
were the phonograms witch confirmed 7 different audio signals
It formed 10 members volunteers work groups
interested in studying the Hyla Arborea specie and the site environment
protection.
It created the web presentation of the program, a
primary report on INTERNET and an electronic photo databank and audio
records.
In the same time with Hyla Arborea study, we study
also the life style of Rana Esculenta in site’s perimeter during whole
period April – June.
Our goal for the next year:
- on-line site presentation during the period April – May ,
depending on financing
- continuing of the frog marking study
- the April study of the founded species hibernation’s ending, the
reproducing order confirmation and the interference between
hibernation and reproduce process
- the editing of sites and studied species brochures
- school conferences about Hyla Arborea for specie’s popularization
and children’s knowledge enlarging
- a better project management by creating a non-profit association
- the project member ship enlargement
- a lobby action for rising the financial support dedicate to the site
preservation and study and research improvement
