Over development of the breeding ground. We used to have frogs everywhere on a certain weekend, for mating season, in my neighborhood. That land was turned into a parking lot! I have only seen maybe 3 or 4 frogs since.

It is not abt 10 points but just to help you here is what i feel :
Frogs first of all need damp & swampy places with lots of water to live. They require stagnant water where inscets & mosquitoes are there for them to eat & lost of grass & weeds on thebanks for their eggs. These places are now becoming more & more less beecoz of the increasing human interface with wild life & urban growth also.. their habitat is being destroyed.
We are also shutting out all breeding grounds for insects flies & msquitoes, which are the main food for frogs so if their is no food. there is no survival...
Lastly poison of some toads is belive to have medicinal properties so these varities are alos being hunted for selfish pruposes....
are some the reasons why they are getting extinct

Frogs are extremely sensitive to environmental change. Even slight changes in temperature or water pH levels can cause mutant frogs. The more drastic the environmental change the more mutant frogs we get. But mutant frogs is the "happy" side of things. These changes can also kill frogs. Scientists believe that the study of frogs my be a precursor to our own end.

A number of theories;
1. Climate change.
2. A fungus disease that affects frogs has spread to many parts of the world
3. Habitat loss.
4. Probably a combination of all these factors.

frogs are a good indicator of a clean ecosystem. With having an ability of absorbing toxins in their environment they can tell scientists which areas are being affected by pollution. One of the most well known pollution results is "Global Warming". Frogs won't be able to evolve quick enough to keep up with the changes.

It sounds like someone didn't do their homework. Frogs are endangered largely because of pollution and human encroachment into their natural habitat. This is a broad topic, and if you waited until the last minute to do this you are going to fail.

i believe that right now, every living creature is in danger of becoming extinct!! it's simply because of the pollution we humans create :s we're cutting down trees, which is their shelter and we're dumping dirt in their waters....
