Wind in the Willows...
Here we go... the world's frogs are in trouble.
Dr Stuart said: "This level of decline is ... extraordinary and serious because amphibians represent a very important part of the overall diversity of life. Since most amphibians feel the effects of pollution before many other forms of life, their rapid decline tells us that one of earth's most critical life support systems is breaking down."
Having skin that is porous to water will do that to you. Here we have an example of the problem with our current culture and media method of spreading knowledge. If it can't be "sound-bited" into a 10 second digestible piece of speech, people can't freaking actually contemplate the reality of the situation.
The envionment is like smoking - you don't know how bad things are until everything starts to go wrong, at which point it's too late to do anything but worry.
