The study titled ‘Ongoing declines for the world’s amphibians in the face of emerging threats’ was published in the journal Nature.
It has been found that climate change is emerging as one of the biggest threats to amphibians.
The study is based on the second global amphibian assessment.
The study evaluated the risk of extinction of more than 8,000 amphibian species.
The study also evaluated 2,286 species for the first time.
Two out of five amphibians are facing extinction threats due to climate change.
The analysis finds that between 2004 and 2022, a few serious risks have increased the number of amphibians that are in danger of going extinct.
Of these, climate change was the primary threat for 39% of these species.
