Tree Frog by Rick O'Neill
The Pacific Tree Frog is one of many species that need forests and wetlands to survive. Amphibians are rapidly declining on a worldwide basis, and 2007 was declared the International Year of the Frog to draw attention to their plight. Amphibians in BC are threatened by habitat destruction from development, logging and mining, and they are also very susceptible to pollution due to absorption through their skin.
