endangered frogs

Researchers suggest that identifying climate refuges—areas where conditions remain stable as temperatures rise—could be central to restoring threatened amphibian populations. Frogs, salamanders and other amphibians are among the world's most endangered animal groups, hit hard by habitat loss, disease and a warming climate. The proposal points to protecting and reconnecting these cooler, wetter havens as a practical conservation strategy.

A nursery in Los Angeles is caring for hundreds of tadpoles of an endangered frog species, raising them until they are ready to be released into the wild. The effort is part of conservation work aimed at boosting the survival of a species at risk of extinction.
