spray a chemical that makes the frogs enter the water to clear the frogs so then you can cut down trees. Deforestation affects climate change and water cycles. Deforestation mainly happens for industrial and commercial purposes and also for supplying wood, making paper products and clearing land for homes, and crops. Illegal logging and fires are actions that cause deforestation
Solutions:
Earlier this year we talked a little bit about deforestation and how much of the land we were losing. And the cause of that was the people not knowing the reasons they're cutting the forest down was not sufficient enough for their cause. Teaching is a solution to show them how to properly manage the trees they cut down. Plant trees also a solution so we aren't losing as many if we plant a lot.  recycle as much as possible. we need to make smart decisions that shift consumption and land use. Creating protected areas.
Strengths- Knowledge about deforestation.
No worries of deforestation if we plant trees to recover. your proactive exercise in diverting the demand for clearing land we need to make smart decisions that shift consumption and land use patterns in less wasteful directions.  Ensuring powerful policies on illegal logging will stop the harvesting, transporting, processing, buying or selling of timber in violation of national laws
Weaknesses-
Trees could not possibly grow because it's not native to that land or the new trees won't help because they're not as effective of the prior ones.

-Deforestation
-Pollution
-Habitat loss
-Destruction in Wetlands

When farmers farm their crops they use nutrients(Fertilizers/Manure) to do so. The waste/ nutrients get into the water or wetlands where they live and harm their eggs, causing less to reproduce. One way they harm the frogs is by causing deformities in the frogs and the eggs. The nutrients get into the water causing parasites to grow and infect the animals that use that water. Also increasing snail population.
Solution:
Management- Livestock waste, Drainage water, And Nutrient. Cover crops and set up buffers.
Strengths-
Management: Keeps the animals waste out of the water, which keeps phosphorus out the water and restores banks. Reducing nutrients loading's, help prevent degradation. Also, Applying fertilizer properly at the right time can reduce pollution.
Weaknesses- How will you know when your animals are wasting in water/ how will you prevent that if they need water to survive, What if some farms don't want to plant trees, shrubs. Not all people or farmers are aware of the nutrient pollution, so how will they fix it.

because they depend on moist leaf litter found in the cloud forest as a suitable place to lay their eggs
-and it is also hard to hit since some of them are on mountain tops.
-the temperature increases further up the mountain clouds are being pushed up on the mountains and it is hurting the frogs.
Frogs in high mountainous places are really affected by climate change. Global warming raises cloud level and since there are different species in particular areas(up to like 60 different species in Costa Rica and Panama) It causes the frogs to exposed to newly lowered elevations soon losing their habitats. Climate change in temperate regions are affect pond-breeding frogs to where droughts will occur; like in Yellowstone National Park droughts have been increasing over the past 50 years and 25% of the ponds that existed in the early 1990's no longer fill with water. Climate change also affects the breeding seasons.
Solutions:
 Infrastructure Upgrade- Buildings all over the world contribute to around 1/3 of all green house gases(43% just in the U.S. Alone) Bettering our electricity, transportation etc. will help lower greenhouse gases.  Stop Cutting Down Trees- Every year 33 million acres of forests are cut down. That represents 20% of human made green house gases. Be Efficient- do less. People in developed countries(U.S.) are careless wasters of energy and Resources.
weakness: you can prevent climate changes in some places ,easy to move away from climate change. Money changes perspective on things like the indoor snow land/ Ski place in the mall in Dubai. They have money to pay for all the resources their using so its not relatively a big deal to have all that power being wasted.
strengths: its is really hard to adapted to ,you can live on it correctly. Improved agricultural Practices along with paper recycling and forest management. Drive economic growth in developing countries.
