Amphibian Biodiversity

Amphibian biodiversity refers to the variety of amphibian species, like frogs, salamanders, and caecilians, found worldwide. These animals are vital for ecosystems because they control insects and serve as prey for many species. Amphibians are sensitive to environmental changes, making them important indicators of ecosystem health. Their unique life cycle, involving both water and land stages, contributes to ecological diversity. Sadly, many amphibian populations are declining due to habitat loss, pollution, disease, and climate change. Protecting amphibian biodiversity is essential for maintaining healthy ecosystems and ensuring ecological balance.
