Not sure if you are all aware of the current hardships Amphibians are facing...
Amphibians, worldwide, are in a dangerous decline. This is due to a combination of...

Pollution
Chytrid Fungus
Scientists believe that as many as 122 species of Amphibians have become extinct since 1980 and the problem is getting worse.
