I am NOT convinced that frog population in Goa reached so low that it's now threatening their existence. Any animal that has a capacity to lay thousands of eggs in a single season, cannot be in danger. Period.
I do support the concept of conservation of wild life - but not frogs. In Earth's past history, millions of animals came and went extinct. But the animal world still survived even though it must have disrupted their food chain. For example, the Dinosaurs came and went. That gave a perfect opportunity for mammals to take charge - and then to eventually give rise to mankind. If Dinoaaurs were to still survive, you and I wouldn't be here discussing about the frogs.
