The extent of amphibian decline was revealed in October last year, with the publication of a comprehensive worldwide survey, the Global Amphibian Assessment. 

It revealed that almost a third of the 5,743 known species are categorised as Critically Endangered, Endangered or Vulnerable according to criteria established by IUCN, the World Conservation Union


** Frog action plan to cost millions **
Conservation scientists are to meet in Washington DC to discuss an action plan aimed at stemming the global decline in amphibians.
