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.

Chytridiomycosis has been linked to dramatic population declines or extinctions of amphibian species in western North America, Central America, South America, eastern Australia, east Africa , [1] and Dominica and Montserrat in the Caribbean. Much of the New World is also at risk of the disease arriving within the coming years. [2]
The announcement of the frog's return comes two years after a conservation effort began to bring them back to the archaeological site that was home to the Mississippian culture of Native Americans ...

A population that was once in the tens of thousands was down to a mere 3,000. [13] The largest known chorusing groups persist in Bastrop County, but the choruses monitored in Bastrop State Park showed a dramatic decline during the mid-1990s, with little recovery of those numbers since then. Importantly, that state park is the only public land ...
The Sierra Nevada Yellow-legged frogs were almost wiped out of Yosemite National Park. But these scientists mounted a wildlife comeback. 'The lakes are alive again': These frogs are back from near ...
Blanchard's cricket frogs are commonly found in wetlands, ponds, and/or near row crop agriculture. [2] The average life span for this frog is about one year, which is why the species is considered to be short-lived. Little is known about the interactions and basic ecology, even though populations are decreasing. [3]
