Remember, every call counts!
Frogs sensitivity to changes in water quality and habitat conditions makes them early warning signals for ecological disturbances. As predators of pest species like mosquitos, prey of native wildlife, and important connections between freshwater and terrestrial ecosystems, they help maintain balanced food webs. Additionally, their skin secretions contain antifungal and antibacterial properties used in medical research, contributing to human health. Preserving frogs ensures the health of ecosystems and supports human well-being through various indirect benefits.
