Amphibians are among the most threatened groups of animals on the planet, with nearly a third of all species facing the risk of extinction. Their unique life cycles, which depend on both aquatic and terrestrial environments, make them particularly vulnerable to a range of environmental changes and threats.
- Amphibians are bioindicators due to their sensitive skin and dual life stages, reflecting environmental health.
- Major threats include habitat loss, disease, pollution, invasive species, and climate change.
- Conservation efforts focus on habitat protection, disease management, captive breeding, and pollution control.
Because their permeable skin and life cycle make them sensitive to environmental changes.
