The golden toad of Monteverde, Costa Rica, was among the first casualties of amphibian declines.Formerly abundant, it was last seen in 1989. Since the 1980s, decreases in amphibian populations, including population decline and localized mass extinctions, have been observed in locations all over the world.
A 2013 study estimated that 670–933 amphibian species (11–15%) are both highly vulnerable to climate change while already being on the IUCN Red List of threatened species. A further 698–1,807 (11–29%) amphibian species are not currently threatened, but could become threatened in the future due to their high vulnerability to climate ...

A shocking new report on global biodiversity is detailing what it calls "a catastrophic decline" in wildlife populations ahead of a major international conference on biodiversity.
According to the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN), 93 reptile and amphibian species in the United States are threatened with extinction.

The population of the mountain chicken frog, once abundant in the Caribbean, has dropped by over 99% in 20 years due to a deadly fungal disease.
According to a study by the Australian National University, the Bd fungus has caused the decline of 501 amphibian species—about 6.5 percent of the world's known total. Of these, 90 species have been entirely wiped out and another 124 species have declined by more than 90 percent, and the odds of the affected species recovering to a healthy ...
