Frogs across the world are threatened by pollution, habitat loss and climate change. They play a pivotal role in preventing the spread of disease and damage of crops, by feeding on insects. In the 1970s, an infectious virus named Chytridiomycosis which led to the decline of 30% of the amphibian population was discovered. The cause of the virus includes rising temperatures. Global expansion of trade routes further exacerbated the transmission of the disease to native amphibians. Here in Malaysia, frogs are inextricably linked to "political frogs", referring to the despicable politicians that 'jump' to another political party, for their own selfish agendas.
