Brief Summary
provided by Ecomare
In the Netherlands, the moor frog lives particularly on Texel and on Schouwen. Otherwise, you can find it on sandy soils more inland, however it is a rare species. It is bounded to low, damp terrain and needs open water for reproduction. The moor frog is being threatened by large-scale interventions in the landscape (agriculture, nature development) and is sensitive to desiccation and acidification of its habitat. It is listed as vulnerable species on the Red List for amphibians and reptiles.
