Amphibian Decline

Amphibian decline refers to the significant and widespread decrease in populations of frogs, toads, salamanders, and other amphibians around the world. This decline is caused by various factors, including habitat destruction, pollution, climate change, disease, and invasive species. Amphibians are sensitive to environmental changes, making them key indicators of ecosystem health. Their decline raises concerns for biodiversity, as they play essential roles in food webs and as pest controllers. Protecting amphibians is crucial for maintaining balanced ecosystems and overall environmental health.
