New research reveals that humans are estimated to consume over 1 billion frogs every year. According to the study, the U.S. and France are among the biggest importers of frogs, and Indonesia is reported to export an estimated 5,000 tons of frogs each year.
The new research, to be published in a forthcoming edition of the journal Conservation Biology, suggests that the global trade in wild frogs has been underestimated in the past.
“Frogs legs are on the menu at school cafeterias in Europe, market stalls and dinner tables across Asia to high end restaurants throughout the world,” said Corey Bradshaw from Adelaide University in Australia.
