Now the Frogs

This one is not new to me or my blog. The world's frogs are in massive decline. This is particularly distressing when we remember that frogs are considered a key indicator species. This has to do with the nature of their skin, which is semi-permeable making them very much susceptible to changes in the environment. This decline has been occurring for years but has now taken on epic proportions. The question has always been why is this happening? Scientists are now thinking that there are several reasons, the most significant of which is global warming. My largest concern is the affect this will have on the rest of the ecosystem which I suspect will be disastrous.
