EDM 423 -  Mass extinction of amphibians
28.11.2007
Walker, Charles

That this House registers its concern at the continuing decline of the planet's amphibian species which include frogs, toads, salamanders and caecilians; notes that after thriving for over 360 million years up to one half of all amphibians could disappear in our lifetime, an event that will be the largest mass extinction since the disappearance of the dinosaurs; and, given the need to avert this environmental disaster, urges the Government to take the lead in promoting the conservation and preservation of the globally important habitats which sustain these wonderful amphibians and the many other creatures that share them.
