Our story starts 20 years, as a fungal infection wiped out the world's frogs. It continues today as we see a resurgence in malaria and other tropical diseases because the frogs are not eating insects. And we realise that this is an all-too-familiar story of how our actions are damaging fragile ecosystems.
We therefore look to the future, hopeful that we can find a way to stop the harm, reverse the damage and restore the environment.
The end of frogs? Let's hope not.
