Amphibians play an ecological role as both predators and prey within ecosystems. They help control insect populations and serve as indicators of environmental health due to their sensitivity to pollutants and habitat changes. Additionally, amphibian larvae contribute to nutrient cycling in aquatic ecosystems, while adult amphibians support terrestrial food webs. The decline of amphibian populations can disrupt these interactions and negatively impact biodiversity. Protecting amphibians is essential for maintaining ecosystem stability and signaling the overall health of ecosystems.
