What Defenders Is Doing to Help Frogs

FrogsĀ are facing many threats to their survival. Chytrid fungus is literally decimating populations of frogs and other amphibians [1] around the world. Domestic and international trade of amphibians for use as exotic pets, food and medicines are wreaking havoc with their numbers. They are also affected by habitat loss [2], pollution, pesticides, competition from invasive species and climate change [3].
