A horrible killer fungus from Africa is infecting and wiping out millions of frogs from a variety of species all over the world, causing extinctions in the last decade. Panicked scientists want $500 million to gather up and quarantine hundreds of frogs from each species in zoos around the world to buy them enough time to figure out a frog fungus cure to stop it.

Hmm... I like to make fun of environmentalists as much as the next guy, but if this is really as serious as the story portrays, I wouldnt mind spending some money to keep all the frogs from dying out.
