Year of the Frog
2008 is declared as the Year of the Frog. Worldwide, one third of all amphibian species are thought to be threatened with extinction and many others face severe population declines. Habitat loss and infectious disease are two of the main threats. This CD-ROM is a contribution to an appreciation and understanding of the amphibians and reptiles of the British Isles.
