Raise awareness of the impact of chemical use on local wildlife species, including insects and frogs.
Why it is Important?
There is increasing concern about the impacts of chemical use – from both industrial activities and households – on local wildlife species. A comprehensive program to collect more data is needed, particularly for vulnerable species like frogs and bees, so actions can be taken to reduce the threats.
Examples of Local Action
- Conduct more toxicology testing of sick frogs to determine what’s causing the illness.
- Conduct insect surveys to determine changes to populations.
- Survey beekeepers to identify problems with bee health.
