Biomes
The following are many of the biome that amphibians dwell in and support.
Ways to Support Amphibians
Food Sources
Amphibians feed on insects and other small creatures. The best way to support amphibians is to provide the native plants that support the bugs and other creatures they eat.
Water Sources
Dew Ponds
These are artificial water sources created on hills, to provide water to livestock and wildlife. They can continue to provide water even during droughts, without being artificially refilled, and can last for thousands of years with little to no maintenance.
