摘要

Amphibians are the most threatened vertebrate group on Earth, with 41% of species classified as globally threatened. In this Review, we discuss important conservation developments, population trends and International Union for the Conservation of Nature (IUCN) conservation status assessments for amphibians worldwide. Between 1980 and 2004, 482 species declined in conservation status, and 306 species declined in conservation status between 2004 and 2022. By contrast, the conservation status of 35 species improved between 1980 and 2004, and 86 species improved in conservation status between 2004 and 2022. Improvements have been associated with effective habitat protection and improved management practices. Tools such as the Threatened Amphibian Landscapes have been instrumental in informing decision-making and allocation of limited resources. Notable advances and successes in amphibian conservation rely on established protocols, and the monitoring of their efficacy through the IUCN Red List Index and the Green Status of Species. Although examples of genuine improvement in species’ conservation status provide optimism, improved cooperation across conservation guidelines (such as the Threatened Amphibian Landscapes or the Kunming-Montreal Global Biodiversity Framework (KM-GBF)), landscapes, and diverse organizations is necessary to meet the KM-GBF targets relevant for the future of amphibian conservation.
