Critically endangered (CR) species face an extremely high risk of extinction in the wild. As of December 2021, the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) lists 673 critically endangered amphibian species, including 146 which are tagged as possibly extinct. [1] [2] 9.2% of all evaluated amphibian species are listed as critically ...

Amphibians, particularly frogs, are among the hardest hit by an extinction crisis, as are insects and reptiles. Frogs are dying off at record rates, an ominous sign the 6th mass extinction is ...
However, many of the causes of amphibian declines are still poorly understood, and the topic is currently a subject of ongoing research. Modeling results found that the current extinction rate of amphibians could be 211 times greater than the background extinction rate. This estimate even goes up to 25,000–45,000 times if endangered species ...
