“When blueFROG opens in Delhi this November, the live music venue will bring to the capital a short but powerful legacy : giving local musicians a stable platform, bringing fantastic international acts to the country and always, always putting the music first. With it’s iridescent seating pods and the city’s best sound system, the snazzy Lower Parel club has been such a game changer for Mumbai that its modern music scene could be divided into two distinct periods : Before Blue Frog and after Blue Frog.”

blueFROG is undertaking a project to study Frog habitats, being blueFROG after all…but more importantly the Frog, because it breathes through its skin, is actually a very accurate barometer of climate change. When Frogs start dying out, we know that their immediate habitat has become contaminated. We want to learn hands-on what pollution and indiscriminate destruction of natural habitats can do to the planet’s climate and to what detriment, as species continue to die out, forests shrink and natural disasters abound.

So on Monday July 25^th, 2011, a grey, drizzly day, 30 enthusiastic blueFROGGIES trekked through the Sanjay Gandhi National Park, a well-known Frog habitat and one of the water catchment areas feeding Bombay. Not only did we learn about and see Frogs, we saw exotic varieties of crabs, spiders (including a pregnant female tarantula who was not happy to see us!), butterflies, caterpillars and numerous species of plants, ferns and exotic flowers. We handled abandoned spider homes, smelled wild turmeric leaves and stood ankle deep in a stream while being educated on the importance of preserving habitats and the ecological impact of the legal and illegal trade in Frogs’ legs. Though our jeans were damp when we left, our spirits certainly weren’t! And we’re determined to spread the word about habitat and Frog preservation!
We’re going to be holding a series of these walks that will be informative and educational, yet fun! Watch this space!
