gaetantgp (25) | The Decline of the Leopard Frog, (Rana pipiens)
Amphibian populations in many different parts of the world are in decline, especially in western North America and Australia. It is a phenomenon from which Canadian species have therefore not escaped unscathed. For several decades, mass die-offs have led to the disappearance of entire populations and even to the extinction of some species. A number of these declines can clearly be attributed to the loss or degradation of wetlands, while others could result from the combined influence of many different factors, including climate change, increased ultraviolet radiation, introduction of exotic species, overharvesting (for human consumption), pollution, etc.
