water.

Ninety species of amphibians
have become extinct in the last
20 years in addition to 124 other
endangered species.

 The role of scientists to protect many types
of frogs from extinction
• Frogs need clean water to stay healthy because
they are very sensitive to the effects of :
• Water and air pollution.
• Destroying the natural environment.
• Viruses that can travel through water.
Scientists are working to save many types of
amphibians from extinction like golden frogs in
rainforests by studying:
• How these animals interact with their environments.

• What make these animals sick in their environments.

• The reasons of the disappearance of these animals around the world at

frightening rates.

Protection (Advocate) of
amphibians from extinction

Biologists have a great role in protecting

amphibians from extinction. Although, all
people should think about how to protect
amphibians from extinction as follows :
• For Biologists • For people

Understanding how • Avoid throwing waste

amphibians breathe in air
and water helps scientists
search for pollution factors
that threaten them in air
and water.
materials in water.
• Dispose of chemicals in
a correct way helps to
avoid water pollution.
