Like canaries in the coal mine, amphibians are especially sensitive to environmental degradation, says Mark Mandica, co-founder and executive director of The Amphibian Foundation. Some 43 percent of the world’s amphibian species are in serious decline or under threat of extinction, and even in seemingly pristine habitats, amphibians are suffering. Based in Atlanta, Georgia, The Amphibian Foundation seeks to publicize the threats and promote conservation of these reclusive but ecologically essential animals. Join Mark Mandica for a conversation about what gardeners can do in their home landscapes to promote amphibians, and how you can join the effort for their preservation.
