A new list of threatened species has been released. This year too, there is great interest in elephants, pandas and tigers. But there are many endangered animals that receive much less attention, such as some insects, reptiles and amphibians.
However, scientists say these animals are important, too. It goes like this: Nature is a bit like a monolithic tower. If there are only a few plant or animal species, you won’t notice it as much. But the tower becomes less stable. If too many species disappear, the entire tower could collapse.
Scientists are concerned about this.
Things are not going well for salamanders, toads and frogs in particular. While it is very important to nature.
I can't imagine a world without amphibians. Then there would be many harmful insects and many animals that would no longer be able to eat. That's not what we should want.
