Frogwatch USA relies on volunteers, like you,
to collect information regarding frog and toad populations in
neighborhoods across the nation.
Over the past 150 years, rapid growth in agriculture,
industry, and urban development has resulted in dramatic changes
in our environment. The changes pose significant challenges for
animals and plants, as seen with the decline of frogs, toads,
and salamanders.
Understanding the decline of amphibian populations
is crucial in uncovering how people's activities are affecting
water quality, wildlife habitat, and other aspects of our environment.
We share our environment with amphibians and their decline may
foreshadow challenges we will have to face in the 21st century.
