Andean Marsupial Frog Card

8.25” x 6”

Because of their permeable skin, Amphibians are particularly vulnerable to environmental disturbances, from chemical pollution to the thinning ozone layer and global climate change.

Listed as endangered, this Andean marsupial frog's natural habitats are subtropical or tropical moist mountain forests and arable land. Threats to this species are habitat alteration and loss, deforestation, or logging related activities, intensified agriculture or grazing, urbanization, pesticides, fertilizers, and pollutants, disease, climate change, increased Ultraviolet B-rays or increased sensitivity to them.
