Amphibians

Included in the IUCN Red List is the comprehensive assessment of the conservation status of the world's 6,000+ known species of frogs, toads, salamanders, and caecilians. Here you will find key findings of the assessment, as well as individual species accounts including IUCN Red List threat category, range map, ecology information, and other data for every amphibian species.

While updates to the amphibian database have been incremental, there has not been a major comprehensive amphibian assessment since 2004. However, the global overview provided by the 2004 assessment remains relevant, and it is still accessible in depth at this website. Since 2004 the database has been slowly but continually updated to include newly described or revalidated species and new information. The assessment of amphibians is ongoing and relies on the expertise of hundreds of herpetologists from all around the world. For further information on the assessment process see the Amphibian Assessment Forum.
