Amphibians are now in crisis – populations worldwide are disappearing:
- Over 32% are listed as globally endangered (by comparison, just 12% of all bird species and 23% of
all mammal species are threatened)
- Almost half of all known amphibian species are declining
- As many as 165 amphibian species may already be extinct
- A greater proportion of amphibians are at imminent risk of extinction than any other animal class.
