"So, I have another question. With so many animals going extinct these days, how might the population of treefrogs be negatively impacted?"
"Well, certain environmental changes could lower their population, like humans cutting down trees to build homes, destroying the treefrog's habitat."
"Other negative factors include global warming; hotter summers are drying up water supplies. As well, water and air pollution along with the introduction of non-native species in the ecosystem all threaten the treefrog's existence."
"Wow, that's sad news for treefrogs. And sad since most of these problems are caused by huamns!"
"Did you know that the population of treefrogs have decreased by 50% over the past 30 years? It's because of all of the factors I've mentioned."
"So environmental changes have had a major effect on treefrogs!"
"Yes! Knowing this, it is understandable why treefrogs are a threatened species, and one day could go extinct if we're not careful."
"So, it seems with all these challenges, it will definitely be the 'fittest' treefrogs that survive!"
"Yes, it's 'survival of the fittest' at work, indeed. So, with these challenges, humans need to better protect and care for treefrogs, which are God's creation. Even treefrogs need special care!"
You're so right! Ribbit, Ribbit!
"I agree! Treefrogs are a vital part of ecosystems all over the world."
"So, class, that's it for our science class today. I hope you have learned something new and interesting about treefrogs and evolutionary change!!"
"We sure did!"
"God's design for nature and animals is awesome!"
