Frogs, as well as salmon and trout, are an indicator species. In the case of frogs, they are largely an indicator species for humans. When frogs disappear or die, it can indicate a threat to humans-- such as a disease or a natural disaster. Also, a large number of breakthroughs in medicine are due to frogs; if frogs die off, we lose a large amount of our medicine. In fact, frogs may be a key factor in curing certain types of cancer.

In short, frogs are extremely important part of our lives-- whether we know it or not.
