Because they are amphibians, anurans spend part of their lives in water and part on land. Furthermore, they have thin and permeable skin, meaning liquids and gases can pass through them. These two characteristics make them sensitive to environmental changes. Pollution and climate change can be fatal for these animals.
If anurans disappear from a place where they were previously present, it is because something is wrong, even when everything seems to be right. This sensitivity makes them good bioindicator organisms. When the cane toad disappears from the edge of a river, we know that the river has undergone some change. To protect these animals from extinction, it is essential that we preserve the environment.
