427
amphibian species are so critically endangered
that they could disappear TOMORROW...
A global study has revealed that almost a third of amphibians
- frogs, toads, newts and salamanders - face extinction - and
pollution is cited as the biggest cause. The three-year survey,
involving 500 scientists from more than 60 countries, has found that a
third of the 5,743 known species are threatened with being wiped out
and at least 427 are so critically endangered that they could
disappear tomorrow.
