Frogs eat untold billions of insects each year, making them economically valuable to agriculture. They also provide a critical food source for birds, fish, snakes, and other wildlife. But the most important contribution frogs make may be their role as environmental indicators.
Frogs play an incredibly important role in our ecosystem. With highly permeable skin that can easily absorb bacteria, chemicals and other toxins; these traits make them susceptible to changes in the environment and great indicators of their environment's health.
Throughout history of science, frogs have served as experimental animals. They are used to understand biological phenomena in a variety of other animals, including how birds, mammals and reptiles reproduce, grow and develop.
Frogs have existed for nearly 300 million years, but they are threatened by disease, pollution, Habitat Loss, invasive species and Climate Change. Their populations have declined dramatically since the 1950s, and it is believed more than 120 species have already become extinct since the 1980s.
