Amphibian: Guide
Amphibians are essential to healthy ecosystems, serving as both predators and prey while indicating the overall health of their environments. Eastern North America is home to a diverse array of native amphibians, including frogs, toads, and salamanders, each uniquely adapted to their habitats. However, amphibian populations are declining at an alarming rate due to habitat loss, pollution, climate change, and disease, with some species experiencing drastic declines in just a few decades. Many once-common species are now disappearing from their historical ranges, signaling widespread ecological disruptions.
This guide provides an in-depth look at native amphibians, offering species profiles that include their ecological roles, conservation status, and practical ways to support their populations. Whether you’re looking to attract amphibians to your property, create a habitat-friendly space, or simply learn more about these fascinating creatures, each section will help you take meaningful steps toward their preservation.
