List of critically endangered amphibians facts for kids
Amphibians are amazing creatures like frogs, toads, and salamanders. They live part of their lives in water and part on land. Sadly, many amphibian species are in big trouble.
As of December 2021, the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) says that 673 types of amphibians are critically endangered. This means they are at an extremely high risk of disappearing forever from the wild. Out of these, 146 species are even thought to be possibly extinct. This means scientists haven't seen them in a long time.
About 9.2% of all amphibians that the IUCN has checked are critically endangered. There are also 1193 amphibian species (about 16.4%) that are data deficient. This means we don't have enough information to know how threatened they are. The IUCN suggests we should still pay close attention to these species, just in case they are also in danger.
This list shows critically endangered amphibian species. Those marked as possibly extinct might already be gone.
