The extinction threat to amphibians is clear:
Nearly one-third of the world’s 5,743 amphibian species are classified as threatened with extinction. The amphibian fungal disease chytridiomycosis is the worst infectious disease ever recorded among vertebrates in terms of number of species impacted and threat of extinction.
“Amphibians are an essential part of the global ecosystem, and we’re really nice looking too,” said Dendro Mendelson. “We deserve to remain on Earth.”
