Limited research has been done on the southern even-fingered gecko due to the fact that the species is critically endangered. [4] The Gecko has only been captured once in recent years. In 2020 it was captured for the first time since 1963. [5] Conservation efforts are being put in place to mitigate the harm caused to the habitat of the gecko. [6]
The table below shows that from 2020 to 2050 and beyond to 2100, the bulk of the world's population growth is projected to take place in Africa. Of the additional 1.9 billion people projected between 2020 and 2050, 1.2 billion will be added in Africa, 0.7 billion in Asia and zero in the rest of the world.
Endangered (EN) species are considered to be facing a very high risk of extinction the wild. In September 2016, the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) listed 382 endangered reptile species. [1] Of all evaluated reptile species, 7.4% are listed as endangered. The IUCN also lists nine reptile subspecies as endangered.
More than 99 percent of all species, amounting to over five billion species, [7] that ever lived on Earth are estimated to be extinct. [8] [9] Estimates on the number of Earth's current species range from 10 million to 14 million, [10] of which about 1.2 million have been documented and over 86 percent have not yet been described.

The geckos that live there experience more difficulties with reproduction and as a result are more at risk of population decline. [9] Many of the Mokopirirakau geckos are endangered. [ 8 ] Part of this is due to the effects of human activity and deforestation, but a huge contributor to this is predation of species in this genus. [ 15 ]

The IUCN also lists 12 reptile subspecies as critically endangered. Of the subpopulations of reptiles evaluated by the IUCN, ten species subpopulations have been assessed as critically endangered. Additionally 910 reptile species (18% of those evaluated) are listed as data deficient , meaning there is not sufficient information for a full ...
