Vanishing Amphibians
Most people are aware that many frog species are among those animals placed at great risk from climate change, pollution and habitat destruction. Around the world, frog enthusiasts and conservationists are talking about, writing about, filming, and educating others about frogs. So, why the interest in frogs? Frogs are amphibians, and about a third of all amphibian species are at risk of extinction. In fact, if global warming continues, the world could face the largest mass extinction of animals since the dinosaurs, and frogs and other delicate, vulnerable species may be among the first to disappear.
Some of the problems include human activities, which result in loss of frog habitat (living spaces). Climate change may also be another contributor to the decline in frog numbers. Disease, such as the chytrid fungus, and other environmental influences are also threatening the world’s frog populations. So start your own research project to educate yourself about frogs. Knowledge is vital for saving the planet; so too, is sharing that knowledge with others.
And the perfect place to start this quest for knowledge is CSIRO’s Field Guide to the Frogs of Australia, published in conjunction with Steve Parish Publishing. Written by leading herpetologist Michael Tyler and illustrated in supreme detail by Frank Knight, this comprehensive, must-have guide profiles of all the known frog species of Australia plus the Cane Toad and other “stowaway” species that now inhabit Australia. So if you love frogs and want to learn more about them, pick up a copy of the Field Guide to the Frogs of Australia.
