Why are Frogs Disappearing?
The Reasons are a Threat to our Future
Almost one-third (32%) of the world’s amphibian species are threatened and as many as 165, including several species of frog, may already be extinct. (Click here for the latest information.)
KIKUART FASHIONS is one of several sponsors supporting the New Zealand Frog Research Group (NZFROG) led by Dr Phil Bishop, Senior Lecturer in Zoology at the University of Otago in Dunedin.
NZFROG's New Web Site
Dr Bishop and his research team have launched a newly designed Web site to bring to public attention the desperate plight of New Zealand's amphibians in the context of a global species extinction crisis. It will surprise many readers to learn how significant the effects on humans and the environment will be if amphibians - and in particular frogs - become extinct.
Special emphasis is given to the four primitive species of native New Zealand frogs (genus Leiopelma), which are unique in the world. In the IUCN* Red List of Threatened Species, one of these native frogs (Archey's Frog) is listed as Critically Endangered; another species (Hamilton's Frog) is listed as Endangered; and the remaining two species (Hochstetter's Frog and Maud Island frog) are listed as Vunerable.
*The World Conservation Union (formerly the International Union for the Conservation of Nature and Natural Resources, hence IUCN).
This new site is an excellent source of information on declining frog populations and what this means for the environment and us humans. We urge you to visit NZFROG's new Web site and especially recommend it to parents as a first class resource for their school-aged children.
