List of vulnerable amphibians

In September 2016, the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) listed 670 vulnerable amphibian species.

Additionally 1567 amphibian species (24% of those evaluated) are listed as data deficient, meaning there is insufficient information for a full assessment of conservation status.

As these species typically have small distributions and/or populations, they are intrinsically likely to be threatened, according to the IUCN.

[2] While the category of data deficient indicates that no assessment of extinction risk has been made for the taxa, the IUCN notes that it may be appropriate to give them "the same degree of attention as threatened taxa, at least until their status can be assessed".

2 extinct in the wild amphibian species (0.03%) 545 critically endangered amphibian species (8.4%) 848 endangered amphibian species (13%) 670 vulnerable amphibian species (10%) 402 near threatened amphibian species (6.2%) 2458 least concern amphibian species (38%) 1567 data deficient amphibian species (24%)
Vulnerable (VU) species are considered to be facing a high risk of extinction in the wild.
