Amphibian population has dramatically decreased in many different areas of the world. In the past twenty-five years we have been investigating possible causes for this decline. According to the published research there are factors that may contribute to the decline of amphibians such as habitat destruction, disease, and pesticide pollution.
Habitat destruction is a possible cause for amphibian decline; their decline is due in part to losing their breeding sites through intensive farming and road construction. Loss of their place to live and destruction of their habitat leaves them with no choice but to migrate and look for a place to live. By having such an industrialized world containing dangerous threats to the species such as, road traffic, lack of food, contaminated water, etc, will undoubtedly lead to amphibian decline.
Diseases are causing amphibian decline in some species as well as certain regions. According to Beebee and Griffiths, "Ribeiroia......
