A volunteer approaches a male toad to pick him up from a road near Berlin on March 18, 2012 in Gueterfelde, Germany. Volunteers from Germany's NABU wildlife protection group collect toads migrating to spawn in a nearby lake in order to save them from the passing cars on a road that lies along the migration route. Every spring amphibians, including toads, frogs and newts, migrate to the waters where they were born in order to lay their eggs, and traffic is among the biggest hazards they will face.
