Fig. 2. Newly discovered locality of the Natterjack Toad (Epidalea calamita) in Krnov, Czech Silesia, Czech Republic. The distribution site is located within the Cvilín demolition waste dump, which used to be a sand quarry. (A) The site is now completely filled-up by demolition waste, an unfavorable condition for several species of amphibians present at the site. (B) Puddles are formed in small depressions after the movement of heavy-weight vehicles. However, the formation of such small puddles will probably stop in the near future as the waste dump is now closed. This is another unfavorable condition for this population, together with the surrounding grounds being overgrown by dense vegetation.
