Few people know that amphibians inhabiting the planet earth from more than 250 million years, but today many of them are at risk of disappearing. For the permeability of their skin are more sensitive to various toxic agents or climatic and environmental change. By virtue of this fact, organizations are to be taken as indicators of environmental degradation. The data on the health of amphibian populations could therefore be used to identify vulnerable areas from an environmental perspective.
For children, Legambiente Piemonte and Valle d'Aosta, in collaboration with the sector protected areas of the Piedmont Region and the Regional Museum of Natural Sciences, has developed specific teaching and educational materials available to all schools in Piedmont, which may require kits at the Association.
