Amphibians are among the most threatened groups of animals on
earth. In part due to their highly permeable skin, amphibians are
highly sensitive to environmental changes and pollution and provide
an early-warning system of deteriorating environmental conditions.
The more we learn about the impact of environmental changes on
amphibians, the better we as humans will be able to arrest their
demise, and our own. Status of Conservation and Decline of
Amphibians brings together the current knowledge on the status of
the unique frogs of Australia, New Zealand, and the Pacific.
Although geographically proximate, each region presents unique
challenges and opportunities in amphibian research and
conservation. This book contributes to an understanding of the
current conservation status of the amphibians of each region, aims
to stimulate research into halting amphibian declines, and provides
a better foundation for making conservation decisions. It is an
invaluable reference for environmental and governmental agencies,
researchers, policy-makers involved with biodiversity conservation,
and the interested public. FEATURES: Contains expert analysis of
the conservation status of frogs in different regions within
Australia, New Zealand and the Pacific Islands as well as the
threats they face Provides recommendations for future monitoring,
research and legislation and a benchmark against which future
threats can be assessed and effectiveness of conservation measures
evaluated This book is Volume 11 (Status of Conservation and
Decline of Amphibians: Eastern Hemisphere), Part 6 (Australia, New
Zealand, and Pacific Islands) of the Amphibian Biology series
