Amid the sixth mass extinction, frogs, salamanders, and caecilians remain the most threatened group of vertebrates on Earth. Over 40 percent of amphibian species are now threatened, the latest global assessment has found.
“Amphibians are disappearing faster than we can study them, but the list of reasons to protect them is long, including their role in medicine, pest control, alerting us to environmental conditions, and making the planet more beautiful,” explains Re:wild ecologist Kelsey Neam.
I had an econ textbook and on the cover was an image of a cow and a brown bear on scales with the cow being lower. Cows can weigh more than brown bears but it was talking about economic value. It’s unfortunate but animals that are economically value are typically socially more valuable. I agree with you and I hope that can change in the near future.
