Restoring
the Toad
|
|
|
Dr.
Knapp doesn’t want people to sit back and
|
|
|
let the toad
vanish. He believes that everyone is
|
|
|
|
responsible for
restoring the toad species. Dr.
|
|
|
Knapp thinks we
could help restore the toad
|
|
|
|
population if we
stop mowing parts of our lawns and
|
|
|
|
let the grass
grow wild to reserve space for the toad.
|
|
|
He also believes
we need to stop using pesticides
|
|
|
|
and
fertilizers. The chemicals kill the
insects that
|
|
|
toads eat. If we preserve some spaces in our lawns
|
|
|
|
and stop using
fertilizers, Dr. Knapp believes we can
|
|
|
save the toads.
