Frog Population Estimates May Be Inaccurate

Sorry what was the point of that? I read it Iam a bit out of the loop(don't understand). Explain? All I get is that there may be less frogs than it appears---which is somewhat obvious. I go out trying to go frog hunting. I dont find as many frogs as I used to 5years ago(i miss those days). Same would it be 5 years ago I would have found less frogs and toads than I would 5 years before that(when I was younger)

The North American Amphibian Monitoring Program (NAAMP) has been collecting data on frog populations, but this study is pointing out that these data are flawed. NAAMP uses volunteers, who have to study local frog calls and pass a quiz with a certain percentage of correct identifications, to collect these data. The issue is that many volunteers are getting it wrong, and are indicating that certain species are calling when they are not. NAAMP's volunteer screening process isn't effective.
