Frogs and Salamanders from Around the World

According to AmphibiaWeb.com, Amphibians, "a unique group of vertebrates containing over 6,300 known species, are threatened worldwide.
A recent assessment of the entire group (iucnredlist.org/amphibians) found that nearly one-third (32%) of the world’s amphibian species are threatened, representing 1,856 species.
Amphibians have existed on earth for over 300 million years, yet in just the last two decades there have been an alarming number of extinctions.
Nearly 168 species are believed to have gone extinct and at least 2,469 (43%) more have populations that are declining.
This indicates that the number of extinct and threatened species will probably continue to rise (Stuart et al. 2004)." .................source: AmphibiaWeb.Org

The following gallery is my small attempt to note the beauty and extraordinary characteristics of these remarkable animals and to support their conservation.
