#environment25 The research team found amphibian diversity was lowest in paddy and abundance was the least in orchards compared to the relatively undisturbed plateaus.

Endemic species, including the CEPF burrowing frog (Minervarya cepfi) and Goan Fejervarya (Minervarya gomantaki), were less abundant in modified habitats, indicating that agroforestry practices may be particularly detrimental to these vulnerable amphibians.

The conversion of plateaus into agricultural lands is a significant threat to these habitats and the species they support.
