Frogs are important speicies to our environment


The frogs that seek the help to other creatures in the environment. These amphibians are the victims to fungus, which are endangering the life of these frogs. Scientists across the world are are finally learning about the loss of these frogs. One of the problems with these amphibians endangered is that they help the food chain. They help by keeping the base of the food chain which is algae, productive. All the other organisms depend on other organisms for the food. If the base is affected the whole food chain is affected. which in this case is very bad. The research in University of Georgia has proven that the production of algae is more productive when tad poles were used in the experiments. frogs also keep the stream healthy. The chytrid fungus that is responcible for this has traveled southeast across Costa Rica and through much of Panama killing 90 percent of frogs in the streams. But scientists can cure individual frogs by simply swabbing them with a fungicide. But help across the globe is needed zoos and such. I think that we should help these frogs and help our selfs and make the food chain more productive.
