Best Answer

These animals have been put on the endangered species because of humans taking them from their habitat and selling them on the black market. They have also been driven out from their habitat by land expansion and deforestation. These frogs used to be the main source of survival for the tribes dating back centuries, where they allowed humans to hunt with ease. Man kind use to depend on these creatures and now we are driving them into extinction.
