 In June of 2019, scientists warned that frogs were rapidly heading for extinction. An estimated 2,000 species, 40% of amphibians, face extinction in the next two decades. Already as much as or more than 50% of all amphibians have disappeared since 1970. Deforestation, pollution, and pesticide use are all major human cause factors. Also, frogs and other amphibians are being attacked by flesh-eating diseases that are spreading by global wildlife trading.
