Teachers And Students Take Note: Here’s A Free Set Of Books On Threatened Amphibians
Aamphibians are among the animals hit hardest by such environmental factors as climate change, manmade chemicals in the air and water, habitat destruction due to human activity, and a deadly fungal illness that has been spreading around the globe. Many frogs and other amphibian species have been designated as Endangered or Threatened—and some have even gone extinct.
Fortunately, there are a number of groups dedicated to the fight to conserve amphibians and the wild, wet habitats they need to survive. One such organization is called the Amphibian Survival Alliance. Currently, the ASA is hoping to attract as many like-minded people as possible to the cause of amphibian conservation—and one way they are doing this is by giving away an electronic version of a gorgeous collection of books containing information about all the earth’s Threatened and Endangered amphibian species.
Collectively, the eight volumes are called Threatened Amphibians of the World. They are filled with scientifically accurate information on, and superb photos of, hundreds of frogs, toads, salamanders, and newts.
Click here if you’d like to download the volumes, or just have a look. Again, they are free. There are no forms to fill out, and you don’t need to leave your name or your e-mail address. Just enjoy them!
Extra Feature for Kids: If you’d like to learn more about the place of amphibians in the food web, visit our sister site, What Eats?, for information on what eats frogs?, what eats a toad? and what eats newts and salamanders?.
