A new global assessment of the status of amphibians, including frogs, toads, and salamanders, across the globe has recently been released. The three-year study, including surveys from over 60 countries, assessed the 5,743 known amphibian species and found that almost one-third (32%) of all amphibian species are facing extinction. As many as 168 species may already be extinct, with an estimated 122 extinct just since 1980. An additional 1,900 could soon face the same fate.
I saw a story about this last night on the CNN series "Planet in peril".
Here is a short video from that story and it is alarming.
