Do we as humans have something to do with it? How can we help improve their situation?<\/p>\n<p><strong>There are 15 different species of amphibians in Catalonia<\/strong> (frogs, toads, newts and salamanders), and all of these are listed as protected species. Thanks to this article, you&#8217;ll be able to understand a bit more about why <strong>these species are in need of protection<\/strong> and how this can be done.<\/p>\n<p>There are several reasons for the massive <a href=\"https:\/\/es.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Declive_en_las_poblaciones_de_anfibios\">decline of amphibians<\/a> in recent years, including climate change. Around the world, the <strong>biggest factors leading to amphibian extinction<\/strong> are considered to be:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Deforestation and habitat fragmentation:<\/strong> mass deforestation, fires and habitat fragmentation for human infrastructure such as roads, urban centers, extensive agricultural farmland, etc., isolate and weaken amphibian populations. In addition to this, roads also pose a great danger to amphibians because they are often hit by cars.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Climate change:<\/strong> with rising temperatures, extreme drought, torrential rains, etc., climate change is a threat to amphibians since they are very sensitive to change and rely on the presence of aquatic environments for their survival. Their skin is completely permeable and helps them breathe, which makes them much more sensitive than other animal species to changes in temperature, pollution and toxins.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Chytrid fungus:<\/strong> the fungus known as chytrid (Batrachochytrium dendrobatidis, or Bd) is an invasive, deadly species for amphibians which has spread around the world and is causing many amphibian species to become sick, leading to extinction.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Invasive animal species:<\/strong> many invasive species spread over a certain area and compete with or are predators of native species. Indigenous amphibians are often harmed by these new relationships, which weaken their populations and make them much more vulnerable.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Overexploitation:<\/strong> amphibians, especially tropical species, often have very extravagant colors and are extremely attractive for the pet trade. In some species, illegal trading for this purpose is decimating populations. Additionally, in many places around the world, frog legs are highly appreciated gastronomically, which leads to the overexploitation of many species.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Pollution and pesticides:<\/strong> amphibians are extremely dependent on aquatic environments such as rivers, marshes, ponds, basins, etc., which are often contaminated by chemicals, herbicides, pesticides or fertilizers. This affects the quality of the water and can cause the amphibians living in the area to become sick. In addition to this, pesticides also affect the populations of insects and other animals that amphibians feed on, which also causes their populations to decline.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Looking at all of these obstacles that amphibians face, <strong>it&#8217;s clear that we need to take both collective and individual action to preserve these species.<\/strong>[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row column_structure=&#8221;1_4,1_4,1_4,1_4&#8243; _builder_version=&#8221;4.5.5&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; custom_margin=&#8221;50px||||false|false&#8221;][et_pb_column type=&#8221;1_4&#8243; _builder_version=&#8221;4.5.5&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221;][et_pb_image src=&#8221;https:\/\/albergueesplaibarcelona.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/salamanda.jpg&#8221; title_text=&#8221;salamander&#8221; align=&#8221;center&#8221; _builder_version=&#8221;4.5.5&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221;][\/et_pb_image][et_pb_text _builder_version=&#8221;4.5.5&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221;]<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">Salamander<\/p>\n<p>[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type=&#8221;1_4&#8243; _builder_version=&#8221;4.5.5&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221;][et_pb_image src=&#8221;https:\/\/albergueesplaibarcelona.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/Reineta_granota.jpg&#8221; title_text=&#8221;Mediterranean_tree_frog&#8221; align=&#8221;center&#8221; _builder_version=&#8221;4.5.5&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221;][\/et_pb_image][et_pb_text _builder_version=&#8221;4.5.5&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221;]<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">Tree frog<\/p>\n<p>[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type=&#8221;1_4&#8243; _builder_version=&#8221;4.5.5&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221;][et_pb_image src=&#8221;https:\/\/albergueesplaibarcelona.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/granota-verda.jpg&#8221; title_text=&#8221;common frog&#8221; align=&#8221;center&#8221; _builder_version=&#8221;4.5.5&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221;][\/et_pb_image][et_pb_text _builder_version=&#8221;4.5.5&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221;]<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">Common Frog<\/p>\n<p>[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type=&#8221;1_4&#8243; _builder_version=&#8221;4.5.5&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221;][et_pb_image src=&#8221;https:\/\/albergueesplaibarcelona.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/gripau-comu.jpg&#8221; title_text=&#8221;common toad&#8221; align=&#8221;center&#8221; _builder_version=&#8221;4.5.5&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221;][\/et_pb_image][et_pb_text _builder_version=&#8221;4.5.5&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221;]<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">Common toad<\/p>\n<p>[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row _builder_version=&#8221;4.5.5&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221;][et_pb_column type=&#8221;4_4&#8243; _builder_version=&#8221;4.5.5&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221;][et_pb_divider _builder_version=&#8221;4.5.5&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; custom_margin=&#8221;50px||50px||false|false&#8221;][\/et_pb_divider][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row _builder_version=&#8221;4.5.5&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221;][et_pb_column type=&#8221;4_4&#8243; _builder_version=&#8221;4.5.5&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221;][et_pb_text _builder_version=&#8221;4.5.5&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221;]<\/p>\n<h3>The ecological importance of amphibians<\/h3>\n<p>[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text _builder_version=&#8221;4.5.5&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221;]<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 40px;\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft wp-image-2405\" src=\"https:\/\/albergueesplaibarcelona.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/numero1.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"30\" height=\"30\">Amphibians <strong>are very important for ecosystem balance and because of their essential role within the food chain.<\/strong> They are predators of insects and other invertebrates, while also serving as food for other animals.
