dr. johnson doesn’t want people to sit back, do nothing, and let the toad vanish. he believes that everyone is responsible for restoring the toad species. dr. johnson thinks we could all help the toad population grow again if we stop mowing parts of our lawns so that the grass would grow wild and reserve space for the toad. he also believes we need to stop using pesticides and fertilizers, which uses chemicals that kill the insects that toads eat. if we preserve some spaces in our lawns and stop using fertilizers, dr. johnson believes we can save the toads.
