Road Call Counts (administered by the Canadian Wildlife Service, Environment Canada) are especially suitable for volunteers who would like to participate in an amphibian survey, but don't live in a rural area with frogs and toads calling near their home. Survey routes comprising 10 stops located 0.8 km apart, for a total of 7.2 km are selected along quiet two-lane roads where listening will not be affected by traffic, aircraft, factory or machinery noise. Volunteers are asked to listen at each stop for three minutes and to estimate the density of each amphibian species calling. Over many years, this study indicates where amphibians breed and whether they are declining in occurrence. 1, record 1, English, - Road%20Call%20Counts

Relevé des amphibiens - Bordure de chemins (est un programme administré par le Service canadien de la faune, Environnement Canada qui s'adresse) particulièrement aux bénévoles qui veulent participer à un dénombrement des amphibiens mais qui n'habitent pas en milieu rural où les grenouilles et les crapauds coassent près des maisons. L'on choisit des trajets comprenant 10 arrêts situés à 0,8 km de distance, pour une longueur totale de 7,2 km, le long de routes tranquilles à deux voies, où l'écoute ne sera pas affectée par le bruit de la circulation, des avions, des usines ou de la machinerie. On demande aux bénévoles d'écouter durant trois minutes à chaque arrêt et d'estimer la densité du coassement de chaque espèce d'amphibien. Au fil des ans, cette étude permet d'indiquer où les amphibiens se reproduisent et où leur nombre décline. 1, record 1, French, - Relev%C3%A9%20des%20amphibiens%20%2D%20Bordure%20de%20chemins
