Currently‚ frog populations around the world are declining. Due to the nature of their life cycles and physiology‚ frogs are very sensitive to environmental changes. Frogs are born in the water as tadpoles. Frogs move onto land for their adult lives. This makes them vulnerable to changes in aquatic habitat availability. This also makes them vulnerable to changes in terrestrial habitat availability. Their aquatic habitats are drying out‚ in areas that are becoming more prone to drought. Frogs are
