Goa's iconic Indian Bullfrogs are rapidly disappearing due to illegal poaching for meat, shrinking wetlands, and increasing water pollution. Conservationists warn that the loss of these amphibians could disrupt local ecosystems, as bullfrogs play a crucial role in controlling pests, mosquitoes, and maintaining ecological balance. The decline is raising fresh concerns about biodiversity conservation in the state.
